MS Office license

[lawrencej]

Hi all,

When we license MS Office 2013 the license does not stay once the new VM's have been deployed.

How do we get this to work does anybody know?

Thanks,

James.

Are you using floating linked clones or dedicated desktops?

You must use a KMS server with office on floating linked clone desktops. If you are using dedicated clones, you can just activate office manually after the fact but I would still use a KMS server.

The reason the activation disappears is because of the fact that activation ID changes after the cloning process, hence the KMS makes life easier.

Thanks douglasarcidino,

We are looking into using a KMS server instead.
