Been upgrading a couple machines since the launch of 10 & just noticed a something interesting.
Seems like we are getting generic product keys. Only noticed it today after having a client not being able to activate his Pro upgrade since launch ended up doing a clean install of 8.1 Pro & then upgrading again.
Kept getting the same 10 product key with first upgrade, clean install of 10 & then the 8.1 upgrade again.
Key ends in 3V66T. I noticed it now after doing 2 upgrades this afternoon one 7Pro & other 8.1 Pro, got the same key after upgrade, before activation, & key stayed the same after activation.
Decided to check my 7 Pro upgraded to 10 Pro same key. Used http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html & Aida64.
Poned my rep at Rectron & his manager confirms his key is the same ends in 3V66T.
I will test later & see if 10 Home 10 SL keys are the same as well. Feel free to post your last 5 digits & version for comparison.
IE I haz 5(64Bit) 10 Pro machines with key ending in 3V66T
& 1 Pro(32Bit) 3V66T
& 1 Home 10 with 8HVX7
Doing 2 upgrades from 8.1 SL to 10 SL will add keys
