Product Key can now be a “Digital License”. This seems to be true for upgraded Windows 7 keys.
To prevent activation issues after hardware changes: link MS account to digital license asap (Settings > Accounts).
View current license:
slmgr.vbs /dlv
wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey
powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey"
Update product key:
run slui.exe
or goto Settings > Activation
MS Activation servers:
activation-v2.sls.microsoft.com validation-v2.sls.microsoft.com
