Create an administrative install point and push out using the following:

msiexec /a path to .msi file PIDKEY="[CD-Key]"
You can add the following additional parameters to the Msiexec command-line switch:

USERNAME=[ user name ], COMPANYNAME=[ company name ], USERINITIALS=[ user initials ]

this comes from technet article Q223393

Before the software publishing /assigning, run the administrative setup,( setup /a from command promt). This allows you to enter the software key once for all users, and the network share (SDP) location to copy the files to.
