To appease the masses, Micrisoft may let us keep the keys we already have. But, they will not do it until next year. If they did it now, nobody would renew. Either I renew this week, or go out and buy 6 OS's. It would be a lot cheaper for me to 'kick the can down the road' than to spend that much money all at once. I suspect, even if they did decide to do that, it would only be for the ones who renewed and stuck with them until the end.
I have heard that others didn't renew in yeaars past, but their OS remained activated. But, they have never reinstalled and tried to activate it again. I suspect that's where the problem would come. I test stuff on my computer so often, I probably average a reinstall a month. Once you get it down right, it's rather easy to do.
I wish Linux was an option for me.
