      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;How are you guys activating you Windows OS's after they VM is built from a template? I do not have Microsoft SA so I can't use a single key per OS level. I do however have all the ESXi hosts licensed with DC Edition (Each DC license has a separate ket associated with it).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You may want to look into setting up a Key Management Server(KMS).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd936199" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.5em;" title="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd936199"&gt;http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd936199&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Additionally you may want to look into using Multiple Activation Keys, MAK's. In which a template could be activated with a key and then deployed a set amount of times before the key must be changed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the info... I was considering KMS, but need to do some more research.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is anyone out there using KMS? Still interested in hearing what other people are doing that do not have SA.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hmmm. I was just reading that KMS is for Volume Licensing customers only.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
