Windows 7 Enterprise your Advice is needed

[clivebuckwheat]

I recently spoke to my immediate supervisor about migrating from Windows 7 Professional to enterprise, so we could install additional languages in our image builds. As I also understand it with Windows 7 enterprise the activation could be done on the master image and then deployed to other pc's in our organization without having to worry about activation on each pc?. Do I have this correct?

Also is there a version of Office 2010 as well that could be activated once on the master image and then deployed without having to worry about activation on every pc it is put on. What is the best way to accomplish activations of Windows 7 and Office 2010 In a large organization in your opinion?

Thank you for all the invaluable advice I have gotten from MSFN.

Windows 7 will only pre-activate on OEM machines using the correct SLiC BIOS, whereas enterprise versions always require a MAK or KMS key to activate if you're being legal (Enterprise is VL only, so it *requires* a KMS or MAK key).
