Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation 26H2 — Is offline activation supported?

Hello,

I'm seeking clarification from Microsoft regarding offline activation of Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation 26H2.

Environment:

• Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation 26H2
• Build: 26300.9457
• Hyper-V virtual machine used for isolated software testing
• Licensing channel: Retail:TB:Eval
• Product: EnterpriseEval
• Current licensing status: Notification
• Notification reason: 0xC004F009
• Grace period remaining: 0

The VM was installed offline and deliberately has no network adapters connected.

An Installation ID is available through slmgr /dlv. No activation attempt, licence reset, rearm or product-key modification has been performed.

My question:

Microsoft documents an offline activation process using an Installation ID and Confirmation ID.

1. Does this procedure support the specific Retail:TB:Eval licence used by Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation 26H2?
2. Can a Confirmation ID be obtained through Microsoft's Product Activation Portal using a separate Internet-connected device, allowing the VM to remain completely offline?
3. If this evaluation edition does not support offline activation, is initial online activation mandatory?
4. Is there official Microsoft documentation confirming the applicable activation requirements?

I'm specifically asking about the 90-day Enterprise Evaluation, not a standard retail, volume or perpetual Windows licence.

I'd appreciate confirmation from a Microsoft representative or a reference to authoritative evaluation-specific licensing documentation.

Thank you.
