Office 2011

Yea, right after I posted this. I figured that out.

Thanks

I just used the "diff" provided by Composer. Just make sure you do your setup before building the package.

If you're getting any license key prompts, you're not using a site license (I think). This is probably the source of your problem.

Hi
We do the same and works
Since we have a site license, it do not ask for one .

Volume licensing is the way to go as others have already replied. You're

I posted this a few months ago on a different list.

The biggest con to volume licensing is certainly the price.

The pros are:

1. Single key - one package to push to everyone.
2. No activation. (Activation for retail products was added in Office 2011.)
3. The ability to install now and pay later when you've got that last minute new hire request.
4. Depending on your Microsoft agreement, the privilege to downgrade to an older version of Office.
5. Depending on your Microsoft agreement, a technical account manager who can escalate issues.
6. Depending on your Microsoft agreement, the privilege to true-up once per year or on a regular basis.
7. Access to updated media.
8. The ability to subscribe to some products rather than license them.

These are some advantages I know off the top of my head and not everyone's
volume license agreement will cover everything I mentioned. Items #4 and
#5, I believe, require volume licensing before you can get those extra
levels of support.

Before making any decisions for or against volume licensing, start here:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default.aspx and definitely speak with
someone who handles volume licensing at Microsoft or on behalf of
Microsoft. Third party websites such as http://www.insight.com can handle
many volume license issues.

I had a problem with packing Office 2011 and it not remembering the
license. I resolved it by fixing the permission on the package in
Composer before building it. The permissions were wrong for the User
files. Just something to double check if you're still having issues.
