We can deal with entering the keys as we're not often doing more than a handful at a time. Trick seems to be finding the right installer that will accept OEM, MAP, or Vista->7 upgrade keys. Hoping to avoid keeping three different images just for licensing reasons. Thanks Dylan Dylan Haines Systems Technical Support Manager

We use KMS here, but if you don't like KMS, there's MAK as well which is very similar to how XP volume licensing worked.

Just looked at KMS and decided I don't like it at all. Is there a limit to how many OEM Win7 Pro licenses you can have in an organization before you are forced to use Volume licensing? It seems to me VLK was a lot easier to manage under XP. How do you go about imaging if using only OEMs? Thanks for any tips.
