    Group activation of an image on multiple machines


    My organization supplied me with a group of Window 10 Enterprise computers activated using MAK keys. They are all going to run the same applications and be deployed a different facilities. Setting up the first one was painstaking but I finally got everything just right. I created an image of it and restored it to the next computer but it didn't bring the MAK key with it. Is there a way to image the first computer to the rest and maintain their activation?

    :)

    WIN10 activation of deployed image (Multiple PCs)


    Will subsequent installs automatically activate when I do a sysprepped image-device copy to said machines?
    If volume licensing will be more expensive, then it is likely we will get separate windows keys. I looked up the price, and 840 euros for 24 licenses seems like a good deal.
    Basically what I'm doing, but using PXE boot to deploy a reference image. Doing that restore on all 24 computers manually takes too long.


    Basically what I want to know now is:
    1. I make a reference image
    2. Sysprep that image
    3. PXE boot and spread image to 24 pcs
    4. activate windows 10 on 24 pcs
    5. Repeat step 3 every 10 weeks.

    My understanding is, that the windows key will be bound to the machine (CMID). Now when I respread the same sysprepped image to all 24 devices every 90 days they will still be activated under that same key (automatically). Is this correct?
