    I associated 1511 with 15063. My mistake. Regarding Upgrade, I have 9 actually. 1st one is that Education one, 2nd to 6th are of Home and 7-9 are of Pro.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Education one is GVLK, Home shows my OEM key, and Pro shows my OEM key (got it from Amazon but came to know that Microsoft doesn't support OEM licenses directly so changed that with a retail key).

    Hmmm.. certainly strange that Education would be there... I certainly have not come across a rogue install testing various VM installs..

    I can only imagine it may get there when using a business edition ISO?

    Will have to wait and see if others report similar instances. Thanx for the feedback

    I tried using that GVLK key and it didn't activate. I then put my Pro key and it activated just like before.

    Don't use that GVLK - it can only activate with a KMS server.

    Preview v1.1.14.42987


    This update adds checking of remaining MAK count capability.

    This functionality requires internet access as it queries the MS servers.

    Thanx Cliff - glad you like it... still working on the ideal settings for light and dark themes...

    If 'Transparency effects' are off in settings it will respect that...

    However I'm not sure how well it will go down in the Store - I note the majority of users are younger

    ...so perhaps not an issue for most .. We shall see...

    Not to ask a stupid question but what is the MAK count?

    MAK stands for Multiple Activation Key. A MAK key is a volume licencing key, only offered to enterprise customers. One key has multiple activations, the exact number being the number of licences purchased by the customer. The MAK count is the remaining number of unused activations.
