By doing a sysprep the system will be back to the first setup, so the user will be also asked for the license key.

maxloi: &nbsp;Thanks!<br />
What I'm trying to do is to: &quot;prompt the end user to activate the license&quot; but I don't think they should have to re-enter the license key. &nbsp;That seems a bit much for them.<br />
<br />
Perhaps I should also say that I want to prepare these computers in a &quot;self-contained&quot; fashion. &nbsp;That is, all the work is done on them without a support computer. &nbsp;What's the process for doing this that includes the above?<br />
??

I've just started doing some Windows Refurbish installs so it's all new to me.<br />
This is a one-off activity so there won't be any images, etc.<br />
<br />
One of the requirements is for the system to present the license agreement to the ultimate user.<br />
I see that running:<br />
sysprep.exe -reseal<br />
is supposed to do that.<br />
<br />
Is that all there is to it after doing a manual install?
