Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have a client refresh under way. But only purchased machines with Win8 downgraded to Win7 and have an OEM license. What I would like to do is build one machine, sysprep and image it to run on the remaining machines to save hours of building individual machines. But the issue we have is trying to license the build afterwards without a Volume License or standalone win 7 license? <br />
<br />
Is there a way of imaging this machine without stripping out the license key but allow us to roll out a fully installed image of the client machine?<br />
<br />
Thanks
