Product key has dashes.
Some settings have a short explanation (on the bottom) when clicked on.
 
Thank ! Yes I saw well but I have at all not the same explanation and note the famous example in your
 
Glad to see you're taking the time to customize your Windows image using NTLite. When it comes to entering the product key, it's totally fine to include the dashes or not - both should work just fine. Just make sure you double check the key to avoid typos. And speaking of product keys, if you're looking to get Windows 10 on the cheap, I've seen some great deals on Reddit. Just search for "Windows 10 deals" or "how to get windows 10 cheap reddit" and you should find some helpful threads. People often post deals and promo codes that can help you save some cash.

Windows Activation doesn't require any dashes; but NTLite's Unattended settings copies your literal input to autounattend.xml
Code:
                <settings pass="specialize">
                        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup">
                                <ProductKey>AAAAABBBBBCCCCCDDDDDEEEEE</ProductKey>
                        </component>
                </settings>

Setup won't accept answer files with <ProductKey> missing dashes. Should NTLite correct you? Yes, but it's limited by trying to use the same UI as the rest of Unattended settings.
