195 TopicsUpgrade to windows 11 Pro from unlicensed Home version
Hi I have build a computer and I downloaded unlicensed Windows 11 Home to a usb drive (from microsoft) and installed it as operative system. Then my manager bought a 11 pro license key (misunderstood each other) instead of windows 11 home license key. Now I try to write in the 11 pro license key but it doesn't work. I get an error message when I push next. I thought it would upgrade to pro automatically. So my question is: does this not work? what should I do? I don't want to reformat the computer since I have bought office package and another program.30KViews4likes10CommentsWindows Server Licensing
Hello, We’re currently reviewing our licensing options before migrating VMs to Azure. At the moment, we have Azure Hybrid Benefits, and we also have some free Windows Server Standard licenses available through the Partner Center. Could we apply these standard licenses to cover VM cores, even though only Datacenter version images appear available when creating a VM in the Azure portal? The documentation isn’t entirely clear on this, and I’ve come across conflicting information online. ref: You need a minimum of 8 core licenses (Datacenter or Standard edition) per VM. Thank you!24Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 24H2 got my pc down

Hi Team!! I'm looking for a way to restrict SharePoint access from outside of my office network (typically using the static public IP address). My understanding is that to do so, I require configuring conditional access policies in Azure (which in turn requires Entra ID P1 license for each user). Is my understanding correct? If so, do I have to licenses each and every user to do so? And the other clarifications I'm looking for is; Does conditional access policy apply universally to all users when enabled? or only to those with Entra ID P1 license? Reason for this clarification is that I tried applying this using a trial license by setting up a policy to block SharePoint access outside our office network but it ended up applying to all users instead of the ones with trial license assigned. Further I noticed that, when setting this policy blocks the entire Microsoft Teams app as well, where as my objective is to limit access to the files in Teams as they are part of the SharePoint. Is there a way to control access to SharePoint files in Teams without blocking the whole Teams app? Do let me know if I'm doing something wrong here?24Views0likes2Commentstrying to recover product key

Scenario: User R is part of Tenant A and have M365 License. Tenant A & B are cross sync. Whether User R would need M365 license from Tenant B to operate on files stored in Tenant B? Scenario: User M is the external guest to Tenant B. Whether User M would need M365 license from Tenant B to operate on files stored in Tenant B?238Views0likes5CommentsWindows 11 Enterprise MAK

We've noticed on 24' Sep. 9, Microsoft gave such heavy update. This update asks all dynamic group members to be equipped with Entra P1 to stay in the group. We have many dynamic groups for group licensing, and don't want to buy this license for all internal users (we're using Business Basic mostly). We can fully automate this process by ourselves, but there is no option to remove existing dynamic membership rule, we can't predict how these old dynamic groups act in the future. Does anyone know how to turn these "dynamic groups" into "assigned groups"? Sep. 9, what a horrible day, the PnPOnline cmdlet changed, dynamic membership rule changed...... nearly all PowerShell scripts have to change. My WLB is broken.
