Microsoft puts product keys on the motherboards (in the UEFI firmware) of the Surface series of computers:
Buy a new Microsoft surface PC

It's getting hard to keep straight IMHO. Before the Anniversary Update was released, if you installed and activated with a product code, even OEM embedded codes. It would show as "Activated with a Product Code". Only the free upgrades showed as "Activated with a Digital Entitlement". Now pretty well every PC other than Enterprise, gets a Digital License once activated for the first time. OEM and Retail.
I personally don't see keys ever going away completely. How would an OEM, or anybody for that matter, activate Windows 10 for the first time on new hardware that doesn't already have a Digital License? How do you prove you bought Windows 10 and have a right to install it on a device? You need some kind of digital receipt.
