Do you know if the VAMT tool work with retail keys or OEM keys?

No it doesn't.
VAMT tool works only with VLK keys.

To anyone who is in IT business, I recommend Technet Plus subscription. It
offers VLK keys for some of the products (Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008 and
R2 are included).
In fact, nonsubscribers can see what is offered here:

Dusko,

I have a Technet single user subscription.
I do not have access to volume license s-ware. :{

Thanks for the reply.

Well, my Technet Plus subscription is also single user subscription.
However, Microsoft was kind enough to give us access to some VL media and
keys.

For example, in my subscription, I have access to:
Retail media and keys (up to maximum of ten keys for each product):
Windows 7 Home Premium
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Ultimate

But also:
VL media and one key with 500 activations for:
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 2008 R2 Standard and Enterprise

Take a closer look. In fact your subscription is "stronger" than mine.
My subscription is Technet Plus Direct, meaning, I only have access to
software downloads, whereas you also receive DVD shipments.

Best regards,
DuskoS

Interesting.
The few things I noticed that had 'VL' in the description were grayed out.
I had to check Windows 7 VL now and yes you are correct. I can get a
key for it.

Thanks for pointing that out.
