Is this a new thing with Microsoft? I always thought they sold one license per device / motherboard.

These licenses go for a couple bucks at other websites, no idea why someone would pay $29.99 on groupon or stacksocial

So essentially $8/PC for 3 PCs max. The Windows keys must be redeemed within 30 days after purchase but doesn't say if it needs to be used/installed within 30 days. I guess if one needs to upgrade 3 computers it's not a bad deal per se.

If it is an OEM type install you should get one shot. Maybe!

Best to flash BIOS on first boot with USB file tagged in the BIOS in any system with a new MOBO. MS is having a rash of issues with this. The BIOS update is producing a new hardware flag.

This issue goes back before 2012 on many MOBOs and MS will not fix it.Mad

The wording is a little strange for the above site.

Beat me to it! Says life time and we all know it will be obsolete in 5 years max, but can we use it the three times on motherhood/processor changes? If so then it might be worth it to get a legit key from a genuine MS partner.

Price is showing $19.20 in my web browser if you purchase it within the day today. That is $10.80 off the original SD price.

If you install a new MOBO and flash it on first boot into BIOS that will be one of your hardware updates.
If you install a new MOBO and the update the BIOS later, you may get a second hardware change warning.


Can't say what this product does TBD. Question is? Is this the truth below!

Motherboards will be the pillar for every One activation key. Three motherboards for every one activation key. All other computer hardware components are considered upgradeable and do not count as a whole device. Cpu's and Gpu's and add on pci cards are not devices, but are considered hardware upgrades.

If you make significant hardware changes on your P.C. build, such as replacing your motherboard, Windows will no longer find a license that matches your device, and you'll need to reactivate Windows to get it up and running. To activate Windows, you'll need either a digital license or a product key.

Activation Keys are also tracked by a users microsoft account that they had activated it on.
So if you log in to you hotmail or microsoft email account as a user it records the activation key for that specific motherboard you activated Windows on.

The only major benefit I can think of for the home user is that you can connect other computers and devices to the pc with windows 11 pro.

If you have a video file saved on your computer for instance, you can screen share with your smart televison on the same network as the pc.

With Windows 11 Home and Pro you can use Microsoft Movies & Tv app to screan share. A purchased movie or tv show viewable from your online microsoft account can be connected to a smart tv and played via a network connection with ethernet or wifi.
