Problems with completing prepared instance of SQL Server 2012

Hi.

I am trying to prepare a SQL Server 2012 instance which will be used as an image template for SQL Servers. The initial prepare works fine but at the complete prepared instance phase Im running in to some problems. The PID key that is used and works great on the initial media does not work on the "syspreped" installation. The key is not valid.

The SQL Server product key is not valid. To proceed, re-enter the product key values from the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or SQL Server packaging.

The media and key that I am using is downloaded from MSDN. Is there a general problem with MSDN media and keys? 

Im following this guide: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210664.aspx

Thankful for any suggestions!
