Hi everyone,
I have been using Clonezilla to create machine deployments in my office. As we on an AD domain, I don't really care to use the sysprep to remove the SID. Anyways, I was having a difficult time with re-registering the individual MS Office installations with their own keys. I found this after a lot of digging and thought I would share it to any one doing something similar that wants to try to keep their software legal.

Thanks for sharing this. We have put it in the FAQ/Q&A:

Hi! Is it possible, when put on a Image with Win 10 and Office 2016, to a new computer. Not having to connect to Internet and validate that Office 2016 "once again"? The master Image have an Office 2016 SPLA key, and are validated online.
If the destination machine has the same hardware as the source one, it should work. Otherwise MS Windows might fail to boot due to driver's issue.
