I'm building a package to deploy OfficeXP with Tivoli's Software Distribution. Upon opening Word, Excel, Powerpoint the user is prompted for the product key. Is there a way around this or a way to import the product key into the registry so that dialog box doesn't come up? I slipstreamed SP3 in with the install and have already entered the product key to build the package. Also, this is a corporate version. Thanks for any help.

If you use setup.exe and add /a to the command line it will create an MSI with the serial key and company details in.

I think it works with most vesions of office. I can just double click the MSI either from the share or if i burn it to CD and it installs without asking for any info.

You must have a volume license key. I think we have a retail version but purchased licenses for all seats in our company. We are trying to get the enterprise CD which doesn't require entering the key. I know we have Office 2000 that works that way. I wish there was a way to import the key into the registry or something.
