License keys after imaging
I have to deploy an image on nearly 100 computers, the image is Win7 x64 Pro. The image that is on the current test PC was taking about 4 months ago and deployed to those same computers. Now there have been upgrades and changes to that image on the test PC creating a new one image to be deployed to those . Office was already installed on the syspreped image before, and it is the same again. That image was installed on locally (they were not on a domain) and all that was done after the installation of the image was just open Word and go through the activation steps. All of the computers would be using the same license key and everything- just like the image on there currently. So we use volume licensing for Office 2010 and I was told that I would need to delete Office off of each computer before installing the new image because of licensing limitations. The belief is that if you create an image and install it on top of another image already there (without uninstalling office) then basically the license key would be used twice. Does office need to be completely deleted before I install a new image? I don't want to use 200 license keys for 100 computers. If I do install over top of the existing installation, with no hardware changes, with the new image will it over ride the currently installed key and replace it? I need to know before I deploy the new images. Thank you in advance as your knowledge is appreciated!!
