    Thanks for the tip.

    However, I'm not sure I want to use the loader, if its designed to fool windows into thinking its activated. Is it legit? I would prefer an alternative method of getting my PCs licensed if possible.

    In your case the loader will only install the proper certificate - you already have entered the real OEM key & have a SLIC 2.1 in BIOS - no fooling Windows involved.
    It's basically the same as adding the $OEM$ folder which will also install the correct cert.

    The most elegant solution, considering you have 60+ machines, is to embed the OEM key into install.wim and add the $OEM$ folder to your install disc.
    You would then get an offline activation will no input necessary from you.
