No. The ISO is usable for loading multiple machines and/or virtual machines. But it doesn't replace having valid credentials for that machine... ...it's purely for the convenience of loading it. For example, I have to put a new hard drive in my daughter's computer as it went to "hard drive heaven" last week. So I need to do a clean install from DVD. I downloaded the ISO and cut the DVD on my iMac and as soon as the drive arrives I can get it installed and bring her computer back to life. The original credentials will be used.
