<p>To go along with my <a href="http://wincert.net/?p=54" target="_blank">previous post</a> on deploying Windows via MDT 2010, here is a list of the “default” keys that Windows uses when you choose not to enter a product key during setup. These keys of course will not activate, but you can enter them into your task sequences when you are prompted for a product key to use. This will make your setup more unattended.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Here’s the list:</p>
<p><strong>Windows Vista:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ultimate &#8211; VMCB9-FDRV6-6CDQM-RV23K-RP8F7</li>
<li>Business &#8211; 4D2XH-PRBMM-8Q22B-K8BM3-MRW4W</li>
<li>Home Premium &#8211; X9HTF-MKJQQ-XK376-TJ7T4-76PKF</li>
<li>Home Basic &#8211; RCG7P-TX42D-HM8FM-TCFCW-3V4VD</li>
<li>Starter &#8211; X9PYV-YBQRV-9BXWV-TQDMK-QDWK4</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Windows 7:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ultimate &#8211; D4F6K-QK3RD-TMVMJ-BBMRX-3MBMV</li>
<li>Professional &#8211; HYF8J-CVRMY-CM74G-RPHKF-PW487</li>
<li>Home Premium &#8211; RHPQ2-RMFJH-74XYM-BH4JX-XM76F</li>
<li>Home Basic &#8211; YGFVB-QTFXQ-3H233-PTWTJ-YRYRV</li>
<li>Starter &#8211; 7Q28W-FT9PC-CMMYT-WHMY2-89M6G</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that these were easy to acquire – simply install Windows Vista or Windows 7 without a product key, and then run a utility in the OS to display the current product key. I used <a href="http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&;showtopic=129488&;view=findpost&;p=859688" target="_blank">GetKey</a> written by GunSmokingMan on the MSFN forums, but anything that’ll run in Vista or Windows 7 will work.</p>
