Yes, that's right. When Windows isn't activated, SetupComplete runs.
But when the answer file asks to automatically activate Windows without specifying a key, it will use the OEM key.
And in that case, SetupComplete doesn't run.

So, to get around the problem, I'm not touching the template at the Windows key level.
I extracted the OEM key from my HP desktop PC.
And in my SetupComplete I do the following:
"//B" is for the command to execute in silent mode

And so it activates my Windows after deployment.
I tested the key on different HP (UEFI) models and it works, Windows activates with a digital key.

Thanks for the test, I'll take a look here

Indeed, good point, other solutions have the same problem:

Hi smandel,

we're going to initiate license activation at the end in the postinst script using slmgr rather than in the XML file. This has been committed internally to master and will be available in the next release. Thanks smandel for reporting the bug!

Great! No problem.
If I can help move things forward...
