Brentfor wrote: Hi Folks, We apologize for the frustration this has been causing. We have several bugs opened and are working through these. Here is a possible solution in the meantime. Since it is difficult to tell exact steps from this thread, here is our repro and workaround. Step #6 is the workaround. Hope this helps. Install RS_PRERELEASE 17692 (Standard Full) Mount RS5_RELEASE 17713 ISO Upgrade 17692 to 17713 (Standard Full) After upgrade check two issues that should repro. On the desktop there is no watermark for OS is not licensed When running from a command prompt, cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /dlv – OS shows as not licensed Try to activate from UI: Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation -> Activate This will error saying product key is not valid From a command prompt use cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <product_key> OS should activate STEP 6 WORKED PERFECTLY. right after pressing enter got a pop up saying the key was entered correct. The activation window, activation was blank the error was gone. had to right click the 4 start tiles click file explorer, right click this pc then click properties. in that screen at the bottom says activated.....saved a lot of work. thanks280KViews2likes3Comments
