Suppressing Office 2010 Activation at First Launch

Hi,

I'm trying to create a silent deployment package for Office 2010 using the Office Customisation Tool.  It works well, apart from one thing - after the installation has completed and the product is launched the user is prompted for activation.  I want to suppress this, and I have heard of 2 ways:

  • Add property "AUTO_ACTIVATE" with value "1" to the OCT Modify Setup properties
  • Run OSPP.VBS /act, post install

I've tried both, but after opening the product I am still being asked for manual activation.  I've attached screenshots from the OCT showing the implementation of both, could anyone let me know where I went wrong?  Many thanks.

Regards,

Robert

Right, I've got it working now, never mind!  The latter option, using the VB script, worked, although curiously the setup property had no effect at all.

Regards,

Robert
