Adrián, Thanks. I did check the entitlements when I created the activation key but then I changed the value of the 'key'-field to something I could remember/recognize. The logging however did not reflect this change. So - just now - I deleted the key, created a new one and associated it with the kickstart profile. Requesting the kickstart file from my browser works (jay!) I'll try kickstarting a VM in a moment...
