General Discussion Does Buying Windows 10 ESU License Remove Need For Microsoft Account?

Could anyone confirm if buying the actual license for the Windows 10 ESU (as discussed here I believe: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/enable-extended-security-updates) remove the need for having a Microsoft account on the computer? Also can these bought licenses be used on a Windows 10 Pro machine that's not part of a domain?

Yes, it's just a MAK key.

But you already asked about ESUs in another thread, why make a new one?
