I've done clone and distribution jobs before - except with VLKs, so it didn't matter if the key was getting duped.
However, I'm about to come into a number of PCs which I'm relatively sure will have OEM licenses. It would be silly to format them one-by-one, especially including the slew of software I'm expected to install. My question is - can I format one, then image it to the rest - then return to manually change the product key? Or is there some equivalent-yet-alternate method?
The Microsoft KB states a method but is also keen to point out it will only work on VLKs - not OEMs or Retail, etc.
