when i mean "preinstalled" :

what happens, is we (the techs) can install drivers/change backgrounds etc
without entering the rego key.

when we finish the 'auditing process', the next time the pc is turned on
(the customer turns it on at home) they are confronted with the rego screen
to which u type ur name/key etc.
