Getting Windows 11 Pro OEM embedded key to upgrade to Enterprise via E5 license.

I am having problems getting Windows 11 Pro 24H2 to upgrade to Enterprise edition using the E5 license method.

I have review all the step propose by Microsoft with regards to deploying Windows Enterprise License.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/deploy-enterprise-licenses?pivots=windows-11

  1. The machine is Entra Hybrid Join and shows up in Azure.
  2. The login user has a license for E5 assigned to him/her and is signed into their Work and School account.
  3. The Device State of Microsoft Entra Join shows Yes for AzureAdJoined.
  4. Under Activation shows "window is activated with a digital License", but within activation setting it shows windows 11 Pro instead of Enterprise along with system information and via command prompt Winevr.
  5. Schedule task for licenseacquisition Subscription show it has run successfully.

I am not sure what else I should looked for in term of why Our laptop are not switching to Enterprise with E5 License, perhaps someone with some tips or come across something like this let me know.
