How to include product key in an MS installation DVD

1

I have an MSDN subscription, so I get access to all MS products. I would like to slipstream my installation media to include a valid product key.

Can you give me an example on how to do this? So that the product key is automatically filled in I think Microsoft called this - pre pidded.

Thanks...

JL.

What you are after is an unattended install.
