+ - Windows product key or KMS server address
+ 
+The following must be done before an image can be captured:
+
+ - A computer for the machine being captured has already been added to the VCL database
+ - VMware Only:
+    - A VM host computer on which the guest is running as been added to the VCL database
+    - The guest VM has been assigned to the VM host via the Virtual Hosts link on the VCL website
