No, you don’t need any on-premises server to inject Windows keys when using SMART.
Traditionally, injecting licences required setting up and maintaining a Microsoft MDOS server. With SMART, everything is cloud-based, meaning we handle all server-side communication and reporting for you.
All you need is a USB stick (or network share) and an internet connection.
If you’re deploying at scale, we recommend setting up a PXE boot server for imaging and driver caching. This helps improve speed and reduce network load when installing Windows and accompanying drivers.
