Activate windows with cd key using snapin

[msi]

Hi,
Is there a way we can activate windows with license key using snapin? We ran out of license, so we bought new license.

This is what the product key field of the host was designed to do. No need for a snapin?

Can it be accomplished during host registration as well?

I do believe you can input a key during host registration - but this would be really tedious.
I would recommend you don’t do it during registration - but instead join the host to a special
group during registration and later use that group to apply the product key en-mass to
all members of the group.

Hi,

do we talk about the same VL Key or unique OEMs?
You can simply use slmgr to inject a key (/ipk) and activate with (/ato) while having this two liner in a batch triggered as snapin

slmgr /ipk key
slmgr /ato

Is it for already deployed hosts that use a key thats out of amount or would you like to use it for machines deployed in the future?
