Windows 11 Edu

[DSAGEY]

Hello,

 

We pay for a susbscription/Open Value Subscription for Windows 11 Education edition, since Oct 2022.

 

For some reason, whever Windows has a major update, the following time you logon the machine it says Windows isn't activated - when I check the Product key, it's a total random one and not the one I entered.

 

Does anyone else have this problem? Or know how to solve this issue.

 

Thank you

What type of key are you entering? Is it a MAK key, or a KMS one? If its KMS is the KMS server working? Does it have the key installed?

[DSAGEY]

MAK key

I'm assuming that if you enter the MAK key back in again it successfully activates?

[DSAGEY]

Yeah it does, but it time consuming doing it on over 100 devices.

With that many devices it sounds like active directory based activation would work better for you.

I agree - that's what you need to setup.

 

Will save a lot of hassle.
