SkipAutoActivation
SkipAutoActivation specifies whether Windows attempts to automatically activate. For automatic activation to complete, a valid Windows product key is required.
After Windows has been activated, it is not necessary to use the unattended-Setup setting: Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-UX\SkipAutoActivation. Do not use the SkipAutoActivation setting on a system that has already been activated with a non-system locked pre-installation (SLP) license key.
This setting has no effect on Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012.
