License and deployment

[Bill]

I have several identical systems and want to deploy the systems with
the same image. I have built one image and copied this image to each of
the other systems. I did not reseal the image. These systems will never
be connected to the same system.

Is there any problem with doing this?

Is this acceptable with the Microsoft license agreement? They each have
their own license sticker.

Yes, that's why you have to sign a OEM CLA agreement befor
getting the XP-E licenses.
You can also reseal the whole image and clone afterwards.
No problem.
The systems have then the same PID and SID as well as the same Computer
name.

Such an easy licensing and deployment is one of the biggest advantage
from the embedded channel.
