Sysprep and Pre Activated XP

[pwagner9999]

How do you keep XP activated but require the end user to accept the EULA?

I have tried making a master image then sysprep -factory; once image is deployed and drivers are checked I add the end user's product key and this to the sysprep.inf:

Unattended

AutoActivate=Yes

then sysprep -quiet -activated -reseal.

This doesn't work for me because during reboot setup still wants a product key.

I'm wondering if it is because when I made the master installation I activated it but was not yet in Factory mode.

Hopefully someone knows how this can be done.

thank you
