Office XP - Activation issues with Symantec Ghost

[Dave Habgood]

I have 13 workstations that each have a copy of OffXP
waiting to be installed. Thing is, I am working on a
master image that will be cloned to the PCs. If I install
one copy of OffXP and activate it, and THEN clone to the
other 12 PCs, will OffXP kick up a fuss, and if so, will
it just be a case of inputting a new keycode and
reactivating, or will I have to reinstall OffXP again?
Basically this is a time-saving excersize as I don't
really want to have to sit there and install OffXP 13
times in the first place...

Alternatively, how does OffXP work with regards to
creating an admin install? Is this a viable option, and
if so how does it work regarding activation?

Thanks

Dave
