brute force Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 i am following the instructions for a test simple unattended install of office 2003. looks like it was going until it came to the product key. "not entered a valid key". obviously, i have a valid license but there are no instructions on how to incorporate this into the install. how do i incorporate the key into the install so there is no user input. thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mara- Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 You can create Administrative install with /a switch and product key will not be asked again, or you can launch your installations with /pidkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx switch. DO not use - in serial.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
