Automated Product Key installation

[Nick-Mars]

We are faced with a situation in which we need to upgrade about thirty remote
users to Office 2003. Because of the potential for license abuse we don't
want to send out upgrade CDs with the product key. Is there any trick that
will allow us to automate the product key installation without giving out
unlocked installations?

Yes, Create an answer file. The win2k3 cd wil have a sample on it. Just
put the key in that and use it to automate the installs.

You need to change the setup.ini under options sections as follows:

[Options]
; The option section is used for specifying individual Installer
Properties.
;USERNAME=Customer
;COMPANYNAME=my company
;INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\MyApp
PIDKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The last item pidkey is where you enter your serial number. Also, if
you want to automate inserting company name etc then you can do it under
this category (you need to enter this manually as it is not normally
there). Just remove the ; sign at the beginning of each line and enter
your details as appropriate.

The file setup.ini is in your installation CD under: D:\FILES\SETUP
