Must always 'accept' EULA

[Pat]

I'm looking for the document that describes the fix for
having to always 'accept' EULA. This is for all Office
products.. Word, Excel, Publisher. I found it once,
and have lost the document.

Basically the fix was to change a 'bit' setting in the
Registry. The system 'Thinks' that the product was
installed without Administrator rights, altho' the user
(me) has full administrator rights. I have even logged
on as Administrator to 'accept' the EULA and it still
comes up each time the program is opened. Not a major
problem, but a pain to have to respond each time.

If anyone can point me to the document I'd appreciate it.
I remember it was hard to find the 1st time, and shame on
me for not putting it in a safe place! I have done
numerous searchs but with a limit of only 150 documents
being returned I haven't been able to find it.

Since this is a OEM version I cannot get direct Microsoft
support. Can't go back to the OEM vendor ... I am the OEM
vendor.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

What OS/Office version are you running. If XP/2000/NT log in as the *MAIN*
administrator *NOT* an administrative user, and accept the EULA. Otherwise
post back...

Thank you for the quick reponse.

I did fail to mention that I am currently working with
WinXP . I also had a failure with Win2K .. however, in
both PCs I did log in as the "Main" Administrator.

The document I'm trying to locate talked about the
Administrator not being able to 'accept' a EULA. The fix
was a bit setting in the registry. When I checked another
PC (at another location) for verification, that bit
setting was as indicated in the document ... Time being
what it may, I failed to get back to the original PC to
make the change. Now I have misplaced the document.

Again, I have tried logging on as the 'main'
Administrator. I verified that ALL users have full
permissions to make changes in the Registry.

The document I am looking for specified that when the
windows environment was set up, for whatever reason, the
Registry had a bit setting that would not allow the
Administrator to 'accept' the eula. The bit setting was
set to a '1' and should be a '0' (maybe visa-versa).
Even though the Administrator is now accepting the EULA
the registry doesn't get changed to say that it has been
accepted. Every time the Administrator opens up a Office
product the EULA pops up. The product is fully activated.

I will continue to look for the document I seem to have
lost, if anyone else can point me in the right direction I
would certainly appreciate it.

If, in the mean time, I find the document/article I lost
I'll repost for future reference.

Regards,
Pat
