How to integrate your Activation of Microsoft Office XP / 2003:

First you need the activation file:
Office XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\data.dat
Office 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\opa11.dat

Now copy the file somewhere into your $OEM$ folder.

Add that to your batch file:

echo .
echo Installing Office XP/2003 Activation
copy /Y "*PATH-TO-YOUR-DATA.DAT/OPA11.DAT*" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data" /V
echo Finished

Please replace *PATH-TO-YOUR-DATA.DAT/OPA11.DAT* with the path to your data.dat or opa11.dat.

Please notify that the activation only works on the same machine as the originial data.dat/opa11.dat comes from! I recommend to have different data.dat/opa11.dat files for different computers to install.

I hope it helped!

I guess the activation file should be copied after installing Office? Else you could just put it in $OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data.

Yes, it should be copied after installing Office.

Is there any way to get it to work on other computers?

Easy purchase a corp edition license no need to activate.

Does anyone know of a way to create this file without having to install it first ?

Also if I install only word and then take this file to create an silent install will that be good enough for a full install ?
