Office GPO volume license not working

[szatkowg]

2003 sp3 tryin to push out Office 2003. Everything works great except I am
prompted for product key each time. I use a volume license key in the mst
file but it still prompts me. I can at that point enter it and the setup
proceeds. The rest of the configuations I selected during the CI Wizard are
correct. The only problem is the license. Thanks

You title says (GPO volume license). Does that mean you are pushing through
GPO?. If you are... the .msp file cannot be used with a gpo install and that
would explain why it isnt reading your key.

Instead.. try modifying the config.xml that is in the same folder as the
..msi file you are pointing to in the GPO package. (ie... ProPlus.ww)

You would want to modify this line...


<PIDKEY Value="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789B" />

Make sure to remove the <!-- and --> on that line.
