Over the past few weeks I have updated three PCs to Windows 10
and I am surprised that the license (activation?) numbers are the same
except for the last three digits. Those last three digits are in a pretty tight
range between 050 and 300. Can anybody shed some light on that?

Maybe this has already been answered. My guess is that since these
PCs are all in the same town, with the same ISP, and on the same
router maybe location has something to do with the number assigned.
This 20 digit number, 5+5+5+5 digits, is on the page that says 'windows
is activated' and is labeled 'product ID'.

Is this even a license number? It certainly isn't like the series of letters
on my old case stickers from the original Windows 7 OEM license keys.
