Greetings --

    Legal considerations aside, as they've been adequately covered by
M. Rajesh, that folder would only be of any use on those machines
running the university's volume licensed software, and would work only
with the university's VL Product Key. It wouldn't do any good on the
various and assorted installations that most of the students and
faculty will have installed on their personal machines.

    It would be best, in the long run, to train your technicians to
ask the customers to have their own installation CDs and Product Keys
readily available when scheduling a service call.
