Deploying windows activation key

Hi all,

 

I have enrolled devices into intune and I am getting the following message: 

 

 

Is it possible to deploy the product key via intune ? 

  • hi,

    Looks like the devices didnt had the proper license applied before enrolling (pro requirement)
    You can upgrade the license to enterprise with a device configuration policy
    If you just want to apply the license... why not using PowerShell? You can push a powershell script with the product key... But I am not aware about your licensing program and if it's okay to license it this way

    slmgr /ipk "productkey"

    i activate them with powershell, wrap the script up in a Intunewin file and deployed trough an win32 app.

      Hi, Vinkiejj! I am struggling to activate windows with a powershell script, because I don't know where can I find such a script. Is there a public script that I can use?

      Thank you

        This is wat i use:

        $computer = gc env:computername
        $key = "ENTER KEY HERE"
        $service = get-wmiObject -query "select * from SoftwareLicensingService" -computername $computer
        $service.InstallProductKey($key)
        $service.RefreshLicenseStatus()

      Hi Rudy,

      Can this be done with a KMS Key? As that is what we have used before when having devices connected to our domain. Thes devices however are now cloud only?
