ThinApp 4.6.5 - Microsoft Office 2010
Hi,
We would like to test ThinApp 4.6.5 and thinkapp Office 2010.
I have been following the steps in the following article
"Capturing on Windows XP SP3 with Retail installer"
http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2011/02/quick-start-guide-for-deploying-office-2010-using-thinapp-461.html
The thinkapp process goes well but when I open the application the app needs to be activated.
For testing I am using retail license from TechNet. I do not have access to a volumen license right now.
I would like to finish my testing without having to purchase a volume license.
Could someone please advise?

Hi hanccocka - the issue is that we can't have users activating their "copy" of Office every time they call the thinapp.exe on a new deployed VD.
Yes, I accept that, that's why you use a Volume License for Volume Deployments.
But you said you are testing? and if you are testing with retail, that's one of the drawbacks, you'll have to accept as part of your trial and test.
Retail is not supposed to be used on Virtual Machines.

You could sign up to a Select Agreement, that will not cost anything, you'll receive KMS and MAK keys for Office 2010, and continue your testing, and then later purchase the licenses you require.
It requires activation? Just Activate it?
