automatically install xp sp3 without key

[kalasha]

i am using nlite to make a slipstream cd xp with sp3. i have read that with sp3, that you can install xp sp3 without a key for 30 days, at which time you will have to install a valid key for activation.

i want to make a dvd with xp sp3 and office 2007 but i do not want to save any keys on the dvd. in the event the dvd gets lost, the new owner will get only trial software with 30 days of useage.

how can i do that with nlite's software?

i have gone through the options and on the unattended page, i have left the key blank. when the cd is installing, it still prompts for a key and will not continue until a key is entered.

According to some people, to have that feature, you have to slipstream SP2 then SP3, depending what service pack level you start with. I've never done such cd so I can't confirm.
