Windows 10 Spontaneous Downgrade

Some users of Windows 10 Pro are discovering that their machines are suddenly claiming to only have a Windows 10 Home licence <https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/08/windows_10_activation/>. This isn’t confined to the “Insider” prereleases, but production releases as well (both upgrades and fresh installs). Seems some Microsoft support staff have confirmed that there is a “temporary issue” with the licence servers, which may take 1-2 days to fix.
