Windows is activated by a digital license
Hello,
I have a Dreamspark's Windows 10 multiple edition key which is retail.
I installed it for the first time on a new laptop and its status was "Windowa is activated.".
I had to return the new computer because it was faulty, and got a new one. I dont know what Lenovo did with my older one which had the Windows key on it.
Anyway, I installed Windows 10 using the same key but now the status is "Windows is activated by a digital license".
Can someone tell me what caused the change and what are the differences? What about validity issues - is digital license need to be confirmed in Microsoft database once in a while?
Thanks
