to the no logic part. My Education installs that were all installed and activated with my MSDN keys, keys listed as Retail, all got a DL when I upgraded to the AU. Before that they showed as activated with a product code. I just assumed it was a glitch. Either way I wasn't going to ague, DL makes installs easier, no having to enter a key. Education is excluded from the free upgrade, there was no Education version for Windows 8 or 7 to upgrade from. Logic would dictate that they stay activated with a Product key, not a DL.
Now my Enterprise installs all have a DL too? IMHO that has to be a glitch, the MAK keys must be being treated as Retail keys? In a corporate setup they would all be KMS keys which I assume will never get a DL. One would hope anyway as they are subscription based. A DL is forever and would end the need for paying the subscription fee to Microsoft. I don't have a KMS key to test it though, I don't get KMS keys via MSDN. MAK keys would only ever be used by those with MSDN subscriptions for testing the Enterprise version.
