As an admin, you have 3 options to deliver licenses to the end-users.

• Rolling-out by email
• Rolling-out by script
• Rolling-out by domain

Rolling-out by email

The simplest way to deliver licenses is usually to send an email to the users, with everything they need to install on their own.

 Just follow the procedure below:

1. Prepare an email to the end-users. You can use wording from the template attached to this post, which you are free to customize.
2. Fill the table with your license keys and the user emails, so that each user has 1 license key.
3. Paste the user emails as recipients of your email. We recommend using the cci field for recipients, and adding the email of your Power-user Account Manager in cc field in case users need support.

Rolling-out by script

Power-user offers an .msi file, allowing your IT admin to roll out licenses centrally to users within your organization. This option is best if you have many users, as it will save each user the need to install and activate the license on their own.

The roll-out script is as follow:

As an admin:

• Launch a command line (e.g. PowerShell, CMD, ...)

• Create the download_path and install_path variables, defining where to download and install the .msi file:

set download_path=%temp%\Power-user.msi
set install_path=C:\Program Files (x86)\

• Download the "Power-user.msi" file in download_path, with the following command line:

bitsadmin /transfer "Download Power-user msi file" "https://powerusersoftware.com/download/Power-user.msi" %download_path%

• Install the "Power-user .msi" file, with the following command line:

msiexec /i %download_path% ALLUSERS="2" INSTALLDIR="%install_path%" /q

• Create the registry files, with the following lines:

set download_bat_path=%temp%\addin_registry.bat
bitsadmin /transfer "Download Power-user addin registry file" "https://powerusersoftware.com/Content/Installation/addin_registry.txt" %download_bat_path%
%download_bat_path%

set install_path=C:\Program Files (x86)\
cd %install_path%
cd Power-user

PowerUserActivator.exe "email_address" "%USERNAME%" "license_key"

In case you need to get the "email_address" parameter through command line as well, replace the last command line from above with the following:

for /f "tokens=3" %a in ('reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSOIdentityCRL\OfflineCreds" /V DomainUserUPN ^|findstr /ri "REG_SZ"') do set email_address=%a
PowerUserActivator.exe %email_address% "%USERNAME%" "license_key"

Offline licenses
Certain organizations require their computers to be isolated from the Internet, due to the sensitive nature of their industry. If you need to turn Power-user in plane mode for the users, you can run the following command line as an admin at the end of the script:

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\PowerPoint\Addins\Power-user" /v ContactServer /t REG_SZ /d "0" /f

Updates
When licenses are rolled-out by script, software updates should be handled by script as well.
