Default Using OCT to create an MSI to automate license information

Hi there,

Is it possible to use the OCT to create an MSI file and put it in the
\Update folder, so users just need to run setup.exe and the license
information is automated?

Thankyou in advance

Yes; of course you're actually referring to .MSP customization file, but that
is exactly right - run Setup /admin and then in the "Licensing and User
Interface" section of OCT add the Product Key in the textbox and check the
box for "I accept the terms..." and then set the Display Level to Basic.
Save the Custom.MSP to the \Updates folder and you're all set.
Alternatively, you can use the Config.xml to do the same thing:

Display Level="basic" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes" /
PIDKEY Value="eebiejeebieyaddahootchiekoo" /
