Hello Corey,
No you shouldn't need to download again. Nothing in that process sounds
incorrect and I don't see a multiple people having the same issue so I
don't suspect and issue with the downloads.
Are you setting anything in an unattended file with regards to a product
key? You shouldn't have to but an unattended setting may come into play.
The Enterprise has a generic key that should be fine for 30 days until it
locates a KMS server or is changed to a MAK key.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
