You want to use a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation as content in a Moxie layout.

Omnivex Moxie can display Microsoft PowerPoint files in a layout if you have PowerPoint installed and properly configured on your Moxie Studio and Player computers.

Omnivex Moxie has the functionality to automatically update a license by writing the license file into the installation directory for a Moxie Data Server. Typically, this is the method that works for most installations.
