Vista, WDS, Sysprep, and WinSIM

Is there a component in winSIM that I can set so that when I produce
the answer file, move it to the box I want to sysprep, run sysprep on
it, that upon reboot I get the window to enter in the product key?

This is my dilemma:

I have 7 laptops I need to image Vista Business onto.

This is what I've done so far:
- Create a standard Vista setup on one of the laptops
- Reboot and boot into WDS and upload image
- Take that image from WDS and import it into WinSIM
- Create an ANSWER file from the components of that image
- Load the ANSWER file back onto the Vista Laptop
- Run Sysprep on laptop

I can't get the product key window to show. I'm behind a proxy so I
don't want to call Microsoft.

Any thoughts?

thanks!
