As well as individual telephone activations as Rick mentions - if you are
using volume licensing which you can get for more then 5 licenses then you
could activate using a KMS (Key Management Server) on your local network.

Hello,
If we are talking Windows Vista to use KMS the count has to be 25 to begin
activating.
You can buy Volume License agreements with a minmum of 5, however you need
to use a MAK key unless you have 25 machines that can communicate to the
KMS server.
But if you are using a Volume licensing, you can use VAMT to collect the
information on those machines,
hook that one machine to the Internet to get the activation codes, then put
it back in that room to activate those machines.
