Why each option
To activate multiple kiosk computers, a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) should be specified in an answer file during the operating system deployment process.
Storing a MAK in a plain text file on the C: drive of an image is an insecure and improper method for volume license key management.
Creating an image of an already activated computer is generally not supported for volume licensing and can lead to activation issues, as Sysprep typically removes unique system identifiers including activation data.
Specifying a Generic Volume Licensing Key (GVLK) requires a Key Management Service (KMS) host to be deployed and reachable on the network for activation, which is not implied as a requirement or available service for these kiosk computers.
A Multiple Activation Key (MAK) is a volume licensing key that allows a specific number of activations directly with Microsoft's online activation services. Specifying the MAK in an answer file (e.g., unattend.xml) during the operating system deployment process automates the product key entry, ensuring that each kiosk computer activates upon installation without requiring a dedicated Key Management Service (KMS) host.
Concept tested: Windows volume activation; MAK deployment; Unattended installation
