As an enterprise customer you may be able to
acquire and use the OEM/system builder tools.
My understanding is that the ability to force
the CD key request through the Office Resource Kit
tools was removed with Office 2003.

You might be able to modify a reg key prior to
finalizing the CD so that it would prompt for
a key as a workaround, but you may want to
speak with the MS volume license folks on this
as well.


==========I do have an enterprise key. its just that I want to create an updated cd
for those in my field offices that need them on their laptops and are not
connected to our office(dial up is a pain), but I also do not want them going
install happy with the cd either. Since we use pcAnywhere to connect
remotely we can insert the key ourselves but updating office thru dialup is a
pain.

So basically there is no way that my company (we are not OEM) can create a
Office 2003 SP1 CD for our users without also giving them the key that would
be integrated if i start this as an admin install? I pray that there has to
be a way. >>
