I'm making my USB bootable Windows 7 install, and I'd like to put my license key on the install media. I've looked online but can't seem to find anything on this, and on my own I don't even know where to begin.
How can I make my install automatically input my license key during the install?

Set the Windows key with DISM, you will be creating a new install.wim which exists in your current windows install cd/dvd/usb iso.
- Extract the install.wim from your windows iso
- Create a folder and mount the install.wim
- Open command prompt (as admin) and and mount the install.wim
NOTE: '/INDEX:1' might be different on your WIM depending on how many Window editions that are available on your cd/dvd. Keys will be different for each Windows edition.
DISM /MOUNT-WIM /WIMFILE:c:INSTALL.WIM /INDEX:1 /MOUNTDIR:c:temp
- Set the Windows product key
DISM /IMAGE:c:temp /Set-ProductKey:Bxxx-Pxxx-Pxxx-Qxxxx-FxxxR
Uninstall Product Key Windows 7
- Commit the changes to the install.wim
DISM /UNMOUNT-WIM /MOUNTDIR:c:temp /COMMIT
- Replace the install.wim in the .iso with the one you just created.
If I understand correctly you want to create an unattended install? Ie, Windows installation which needs little to no input from anyone?
If I am right, a nice app I have used before (easy to use with a GUI, not all command line), is nlite. You can enter serial, name, location etc info into nlite, it then creates an ISO for a CD/DVD/USB which should install Windows completely automatically.
