Alright. Thank you everyone for your time and answers.

@x23piracy Thank you very much for your comment.

Our computers comes with Windows activated with OEM keys of course. Building an image with a VL is no problem. My main worry is how to get the Windows activated with the OEM key insted of purchasing another key. - As far as I know the VL key from MVLSC would count up if it stays in the deployed Windows, which equals payment of another key.

First of all I’d like to thank you for your answer @george1421 !

So if i understand you correctly then my issue with my computers not taking the Windows key from BIOS does not have anything to do with the golden image is made on OEM license and deployed on another machine with OEM license? - These OEM licenses could be from two different manufacturers.

And just to clarify. I’m supposed to install a Windows media with VL. I my case, the VL comes from the MVLSC. Then start in audit mode, make the changes needed and then sysprep, capture, deploy and insert BIOS key? - If this is correct, would my VL from MVLSC count as used twice, since its deployed and changed key?

I have some questions about Windows activation after image deployment with FOG Project. I hope someone have time to answer.

I’ve created an image with preinstalled programs and unattend file. The unattend file completes OOBE automaticly except username and password for local user.
I’ve made this image from an OEM licensed machine and experienced activation problems after deployment to another OEM computer. I read some @x23piracy posts on the forum explaining reimaging rights and thought that it might be why i have problems?

Here comes the questions;
Would a volume license from Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center give me the reimaging rights?
If I activate an clean Windows image with the VL. Can I deploy it on OEM machines and reuse the OEM key stored in BIOS? - And would it count as another used VL key in the MVLSC with every deployment?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
