Good to see them fix this so quickly, but what's stopping Microsoft from blocking HWID activations on a GVLK? After all, those keys would normally be activated through a KMS instead of Microsoft, so it's clearly abnormal behaviour

Oh no, you're all good, it's just that this may not work for new people trying this soon. If you activated already, then it should stick until you change your computer's motherboard
