    Open Settings (Win + I).

    Go to System > Activation.

    Click Change product key and enter your valid Windows 11 product key.

    Follow the on-screen instructions to activate Windows.

    Make sure your Windows is activated. Navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Activation. If it's not activated, you may need to enter a valid product key or troubleshoot activation issues.

    Hello KoiMoses!


    The "SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION" error usually happens due to issues with Windows activation or a corrupt system file. First, try running the Windows Activation Troubleshooter in Settings to check if there's an activation issue. If that doesn’t help, run sfc /scannow in Command Prompt as an admin to repair any system file corruption.

    You can also check for recent updates or drivers that might be causing the issue. If nothing works, you might need to reset or reinstall Windows.

    Hope it helps!

        Yes KoiMoses , sometimes, sadly, a fresh reinstall is the best solution. Would you mind to leave this thread closed/marked as solved?

        Regards!
