by design a customer can drop  an 10-product-keys.properties under 
/etc/ovirt-engine/conf/osinfo.conf.d/ and have there
override the keys:
os.windows7.productKey=xxx
os.windows8.productKey=yyy

I'm not sure this is supported today. Anyhow the search is by the 
VmOsType member name so
its actually the unique OS name and not the resource one
  VMs: os = rhel6x84

Witn the new mechanism, on load the UI queries the backend for a map of 
the osId->osUniqueNames and this
is passed to the UI searchbackend instance to populate a class which 
does the auto completion.

To make the search I18N I need to build a reverse lookup table for I18N 
labels -> uniqueOsName.

Another option is to still search by unique name and to draw the 
tooltip of the completion with both the uniqeName and the I18N name:
