This is the *only* time that you need to use the CSVLK (KMS Key) to activate a system, at least in this forest. I know, you need *what* to enable AD Based Activation? Stay tuned for a future article (from yours truly) on how to delegate THAT access. This will put the key into AD, assuming that you have the proper permissions (Enterprise Admin).

Enter your Product Key and put the VLSC Product Name in the Display Name object.
