These activities typically require some kind of an OEM agreement with them. I believe Microsoft considers this an OEM install, and has different licensing (and tools) to support activities like that.

It sounds like you're attempting to make a pre-install on the machine and then have the customer buy a license and use the install key. Even though after a couple years they would seriously start to see a decrease in IT cost due to the lack of needing to overpay for a product that's over rated anyway.Īgain just me venting. The switch would be too involved to get results the CEO's want. I know this is a bit of a "pipe dream" due to the fact that MS has a FIRM hold on business production because most companies have been using them for the last decade.
If we can get end users to adapt to a small change in interface.

If more IT professionals get wise to the free options available, and don't need the "extras" or the headaches that office comes with, they will eventually quit buying MS products. Yeah I get their trying to make as much as a profit as they can, but at what cost. Because you HAVE TO TIE THE INSTALL TO AN ACCOUNT, that does you very little good anyway because most companies use one account to install it, then the end users use their own accounts to access the product anyway, I'm stuck explaining to my staff and end users why we can't resolve the issues arising from MS's stupidity.Īgain I don't want to go into too much a rant but MS seriously needs to re-think their approach to the new office. After two days it still isn't resolved and I don't have the time to waste sitting on the phone with "Microsoft support". After being on the phone for another 30 minutes, I was told my issue was a "known issue" and would be resolved in 24 hours. After calling back with a "case number" I was transferred twice. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with support, being transferred to three departments, before being disconnected. On top of that don't call their support unless your willing to waste at least a hour of your time. It isn't until you need to re-install that you realize you just wasted $200 because you can't track or pull the product key from the PC. Too bad it is too late to do most people any good. Especially if you don't keep track from the beginning, yet they wont tell you that upfront. For smaller companies that just want to install their products for one set price instead of paying for a subscription (that would eventually cost more than it's worth considering there are other products that can do most of the same functions for free) they have made it almost impossible to track the actual product key. I'm not going to go into much of a rant, but they really need to rethink their approach to this process. Just to vent.MS has really "screwed the pooch" with this one.
