Woot is full of 3rd party sellers these days.
You're likely getting a grey market volume license from an undisclosed seller.
It'll work (at first?) or woot will refund you I'm sure.
But don't think that because it's being "sold by woot" that it's legit.
woot takes a cut, SD gets a cut. end of the day may as well buy it cheaper from a random site.

...that just doesn't happen with an authorized reseller of authentic legit keys.

I've learned back in the Windows XP days not to purchase licenses for OS's from any where other than Microsoft, or licensed retailers because any where else you are most likely getting sold a volume license that can expire at any given time and you won't know it until you go to reload your system. This happened to me. I bought an XP license from a Google Approved vendor and about a year later, I needed to reload my OS. After I reinstalled, my OS wouldn't activate. I called Microsoft support and when they looked up my license key (they asked me for a portion of the key) they confirmed that it was a volume license key that was no longer active. Couldn't do anything for me.
I bought this two weeks ago. Worked just fine. Less risk than a license from a key website, IMO. In for a few more. I use these keys to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Professional.
It is more difficult to find computers and laptops on sale that have Windows 10/11 Professional. Just buying an upgrade key is almost always cheaper.

Scooped up a free and filthy older computer left at the curb. The Windows 7 pro license key was still readable on the Microsoft label stuck to the case. Used that key to activate Windows 10 on my latest PC build. For saving $50 one might look locally for any old unwanted PCs to scavenge the license key from. If the system still boots up you can use Magical Jellybean keyfinder to get the license keys for Microsoft products including windows and office. YMMV
