unattended activation

[MtK]

Hi,

I tried making an unattended installation from my LG Recovery CD.

after installation I get a message to Activate windows.

I don't recall this to happened when installing directly from the CD...

I there anything I could do?

You need to use a Factory Key and not a COA Key. You can also use one of the keys mentioned on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...y/oempreac.mspx

all I have to do (as in section IV) is:

[UserData]
ProductKey =”XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX”

in my winnt.sif with one of the mentioned key?

but what if I have already installed with my key (which didn't activate)?

this didn't work...
