Windows 10 USB install flash drive: Rufus vs Microsoft Media Creation Tool


Is there any material functional difference, in the resulting USB install stick, between creating a USB install with a .iso file via Rufus vs. the MS media creation tool. The reason that I am asking is because I would like to know whether I can expect Rufus Windows-10 USB install drive to reinstall to multiple boxes with existing Windows-10 digital license (presumable in the custody of MS servers).
