ACID Music Studio 8, Windows 7 and Sysprep -ACID Product Family

Subject:ACID Music Studio 8, Windows 7 and Sysprep Posted by: LCGS Date:1/23/2011 5:00:10 PM Hi all, I'm an admin at a school, we have about a 200 machines that we install ACID to using a site license. Obviously we create a master image using Audit Mode in Windows 7, then sysprep the machine and capture/deploy using Windows Deployment Server. Sony ACID installs and actiavtes perfectly well when in Audit Mode. When a student logs on after imaging they get prompted to register and activate which shouldn't be happening as the software was already activated. The use of a site license key is also supposed to remove this requirement, yet it doesn't appear to work. Has anyone run into a problem like this, I have emailed Sony with all the steps we use screenshot'd and documented - they are yet to respond! Cheers!
