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 and add PIDKEY= <product_key_without_dashes> in [Options] section, as following:
[Options]
PIDKEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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.
PS: Remember there must be no Dashes between Product key’s digits.
