We all know that VBScript has been deprecated and will be removed in future Windows releases. The PowerShell OSLicense module helps you activate licenses, query them, and more. In this blog post, I will show you how it works.

I just skip this stage, although I've only created Win 7 VMs.
It'll complain after 30 days that it's not activated, and then you just need to run cmd as admin, and use the command:
slmgr -rearm
It'll stop asking after the next restart.

little known fact but if you simply run Microsoft War's "slmgr /rearm" command it will reset the 60 day congressional authorization timer (up to a total of three times)
The Trump administration argued that the war in Iran is being treated as having its War Powers “clock reset” under the ceasefire that began in early April, a position that could allow the White House to avoid seeking congressional approval for continued military action.-AP
