Window 10's "free" upgrade and Fusion/Bootcamp - Activation issue

$

Installed Windows 10 EFI in Bootcamp mode successfully and upgraded+activated (upgraded from Win8.1 Pro), then did a clean install.  Still activated.  All good.

 

But after setting it up in Fusion and booting successfully, it broke activation.  Windows refused to re-activate in both environments after that, saying the product key was invalid or blocked.

 

Thankfully I was able to use WinClone to bring my activated copy back for Bootcamp/EFI mode, but now I can't use Fusion without breaking activation.

 

In the past I would activate Windows over the internet in Bootcamp and by the telephone method for Fusion, but the "free" upgrade thwarts that strategy.

 

Any advice, or is this a known issue?
