I have a MSDN subscription and one of my colleges wanted a Japanese Windows 10 ISO to track down a particular bug.

While I had to login to get the link to the ISO, once I had that link there doesn't seem to be any requirements to log in again. All the installs are in trial mode unless you get a key, which does require MSDN, but it would be nice if MS just had a convenient place to find these other than people using some 3rd party service. At least it would give people confidence that it's a genuine download and not been tampered with at all.

The Windows installers are not activated. You need either an OEM key in your firmware, a retail key or a volume activation server.

And https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts can help with that.

I wouldn't recommend using random public activation servers and hundreds if not thousands of lines of batch scripts. slmgr.vbs and ospp.vbs are your friend.
