Updated to Build 10525 on an ACTIVATED PRO Edition and now shows as EVALUATION Copy

I had an activated Windows 10 PRO (upgraded from 8.1 PRO). Before installing update build 10525 my system showed as ACTIVATED and there was no text on the desktop. Now, after installing the 10525 INSIDER build, I have the text message again on my desktop that this is an EVAL COPY. Has anyone seen this as well and, if so, is MS going to make sure our LICENSED versions don't expire with the INSIDER Build expiration?

Thanks

If it's still activated, nothing to worry about.

Text on the desktop is normal, it *is* an evaluation copy.

Same problem with me. Its ACTIVATED but evaluation copy which will expire on 16-07-2016.
Any reasons?

Because you'll receive a newer version before that date. And that one will have a a date after 16-07-2016 as expiration. It is just to guarantee that no one is left behind after a year.
