Yes, from the same one. As (nearly) all the machines are sold with a
BIOS integrated licence key. I found articles about how to ectract
this license:
https://github.com/ghuntley/seaslic

And according to the mentioned links, the resulted file can be
injected, and then your windows VM wold be happy and activated just as
your original hardware :)

To make this work, the smbios values are also needed, as most of these
keys are working only with a hardware provided by a specific vendor.
That would be the use case for a copy from host option:
<smbios mode='host'/>

Well, VMware workstation, and quemu/kvm/libvirt combo already provide
this feature for sure... So it would be a nice catch-up ;)
