Often these keys were usually sold in bulk for dirt cheap to markets where piracy is a problem. If it passed activation then it’s pretty clear that it’s never been used before. These keys were never good for multiple activations without calling MS and asking for an exception anyway. Invalidating a Windows 10 key would probably not block the system from using the existing activation. The original enterprise customer was, no doubt, compensated somehow or was done using it anyway (upgraded entire organization to something else). Only thing close I can think of was the FCKGW key for WinXP Professional Enterprise Edition, which millions of people used for a decade before MS stopped allowing. Microsoft generally does not revoke activations/keys.
