Restore disc image to multiple OEM computers

Hello!
I have 10 computers with identical hardware that all have their own oem license. What I want is to have the same setup on all 10 computers. What I remember from previous Windows versions is that you had to activate Windows individually with its own oem key for every computer you restored with a preferred disk image. From what I read the product key procedure is a bit different in Windows 8 and that the key is stored in the bios? The activation should also be handled automatically by Windows, is that correct?

So what I really wonder is: Do I still have to activate every restored pc manually or will Windos 8 do this for me?

A second related question: Are there any imaging/cloning software that can be set up to promt me for a new computer name in the restore process?

Many thanks!

You need to activate each pc manually.
