Auto-Insert Product Key During Office Installation

It's so annoying everytime when I want to install office XP or even office 2003 to be asked about the product key.

In this little tutorial I'll show you how to auto insert product key during office installation.

After following this trick, whenever you'll run Office setup the product key will be automatically inserted and you'll not need to enter it manually.

Open Setup.ini file in the setup folder

Add

PIDKEY=

in [Options] section, as following:

[Options]
PIDKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There must be no Dashes between Product key's digits.

You'll find 'Setup.ini' file in direct root of CD in case of Office 2000 and in case of Office XP, you'll find it in FILES\SETUP folder.

From now whenever you'll run the setup, the Product-Key will be auto-inserted.
