I am learning how to use the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and am experimenting with Windows System Image Manager.
At work, we normally use MAK keys to activate our Windows 7 installations.
I know that I can associate this key with the image used for deployment by including it in the answer file but will Windows still need to be activated online within 30 days of deployment?
If not, why not? If so, what can I do to work around this?
