It’s a feature for Microsoft, but a bug as far as the users are concerned.

If you want to use Windows without paying for a licence you can just install kmspico.

What most people want is to pay and then not worry about random downgrades and deactivations, even if they upgrade a parr or two, or boot the same machine indirectly through a hyper visor.

Apparently, Microsoft does not or cannot deliver this, and as we’ve seen this week may randomly downgrade your system even if nothing changed.
