This is also something new...

Code:

using System;
using System.Management;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WMISample
{
    public class CallWMIMethod
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            try
            {
                ManagementObject classInstance = 
                    new ManagementObject("root\\CIMV2", 
                    "SoftwareLicensingService.Version='10.0.10586.0'",
                    null);

                // Obtain in-parameters for the method
                ManagementBaseObject inParams = 
                    classInstance.GetMethodParameters("AcquireGenuineTicket");

                // Add the input parameters.
                inParams["ServerUrl"] =  "The activation server URL";
                inParams["TemplateId"] =  "Most likely the GT code goes here";

                // Execute the method and obtain the return values.
                ManagementBaseObject outParams = 
                    classInstance.InvokeMethod("AcquireGenuineTicket", inParams, null);

                // List outParams
                Console.WriteLine("Out parameters:");
                Console.WriteLine("ReturnValue: " + outParams["ReturnValue"]);
            }
            catch(ManagementException err)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while trying to execute the WMI method: " + err.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Do you have any reason to suspect that your PC has any information as to where the Digital Entitlement came from? My PCs upgraded from 8.1 KMS initially reported having a MAK license but on a reinstall it now lists it as Retail.

 

mine says this and i upgraded from a bought 8.1 key i paid for. sooo idk.

 

Does the Enterprise version not eligible for Digital Entitlement?
I upgraded Ent 10240 MAK activated to 10586 using ISO and it does not retain its activation.

 

Actually no, it's there since Win7 (at least)
and was DEPRECATED since Win8 (open %WinDir%\System32\wbem\sppwmi.mof to see)

 

OIC... Thanx.

BTW @OP, there's no way to determine the origin of activation only thing is to check for DE:

Code:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2") 
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
    "SELECT LicenseStatusReason FROM SoftwareLicensingProduct WHERE LicenseStatus = 1",,48) 
For Each objItem in colItems 
If objItem.LicenseStatusReason=1074066433 Then Msgbox ( "Windows 10 on this device is activated with  digital entitlement")
Next

 

There isn't a definitiive list - it reports 0x0 if SPP is happy otherwise the error code (blocked key or whatever)

You can use this to test:

Code:

Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationCore,PresentationFramework
$Result = Get-WmiObject -Query "SELECT LicenseStatusReason FROM SoftwareLicensingProduct WHERE PartialProductKey IS NOT NULL AND Description LIKE 'Windows%'" 

switch ($Result.LicenseStatusReason)
        {
        
            "0" {
            [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show("Windows 10 on this device is activated with a product key")
            break;}

            "1074066433" {
            [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show("Windows 10 on this device is activated with digital entitlement")
            break;
            }

            # Check error code
            Default {Invoke-Expression ("cmd.exe /c slui.exe 0x2a " + $Result.LicenseStatusReason)}
        }
