According to a report by Ed Bott at ZDnet, after the initial install of Windows 10, the product key will no longer be required. In effect, once verified the first time, the licence is stored online. That's great, especially for all those people that lose the licence key, for whatever reason.

There's an interesting explanation of some of the detail here.

or laptops that don't put the sticker on...or it rubs off.

you could always look your key up with a tool, but that doesn't help you if you have a disk crash or something.
