Activation

D

We are setting up 100 laptops for our school year next
year and would like to just use Ghost to image all of the
machines to save loads of time configuring. However, with
Office activation, we will run into a problem with
Office. It says it has been previously installed and
activated on another machine or says Office detected major
changes to the computer and wants me to reactivate. Which
it will not due to that copy of Office having already been
activated.

Can we not use Ghost to save time? Is there a way we can
make this work?

Please help. Also is there a number I can call to get
help with this from someone at Microsoft??

Thanks!

With that number of Computers you should really get a volume license
(Open-License or some School-Volume-Version if that exists). You don't
have to activate Volumelicenses, only Retail- and OEM-Versions have to
be activated.
