User's Constantly asked to agree to EULA

Hi Chris,

If you're using an Office Enterprise License key to create
the Office Admin point then the users should generally not
be seeing a EULA request. The Office administrator is accepting
the license when installing to the Admin point.
http://microsoft.com/office/ORK

On an end user basis, the EULA acceptance requires the ability
to write the acceptance to the registry, which is what logging
in as administrator allows.

Thanks for the tip, that is where I spent the first few
hours of my morning. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything
too useful for this problem. Basically, if we push the
install to the users everything goes great. After the user
logs in they get the EULA...and they keep getting it
everytime until an administrator logs onto that machine
and accepts the EULA. That isn't a great way to fix the
problem and sending an administrator to each machine seems
like a waste. I thought that someone here may have run
into this in the past and know a way to correct the
behavior.
Thanks again. >>

Bob,
What ended up correcting the issue in our case is we changed the OEM
registry key under LMGeneral, saved that in the .mst file and resent the
program. Saved having an administrator accepting the EULA on each client.
Thanks again.
