Do pre-pidded SQL SPLA and Volume License media all contain the same key?

We are a hosting company that sells SQL under SPLA to our customers on dedicated servers.

It is also possible for a customer to install SQL from their own media using their Volume License agreement.

I am writing a script that runs across our entire install base and tries to determine if the SQL installation was done using our SPLA media or the customers own media.

I was thinking the pre-pidded key on the key would be different ie. a different key for each different customer agreement with Microsoft.

However, now I believe the above may not be case. It appears as though the pre-pidded keys might be the same globally (irrespective of customer)? If this is the case, is there any other registry attribute or other I could query to determine if the installation was done using our media?

Thanks in advance
