Good question (I didn't design the image). I was reading today about the funniness with the OS activations, and how KMS is the only way supported unless you are on PVS 5.6 SP1 or something like that? I am hoping it is KMS licensed. Do you think that may have a bearing on the problems with Office?
I also know that MAK activation in Office isn't supported at all, but I thought that just meant you had to activate it some other way once the image had booted. Or am I way off base? The voodoo of MS licensing up against the learning curve of PVS is getting a bit steep :-) I was mainly wondering if anyone had any idea where that error message came from, strange how a Repair installation made it go away. Or not?
