Windows 10 activation lost after hardware change – Troubleshooter didn’t detect my linked device
Hello, I am having an issue with Windows 10 activation after replacing hardware in my PC. Before the hardware change, my Windows 10 installation was properly activated, and Windows showed that the digital license was linked to my Microsoft account. The PC was signed in with that Microsoft account, and the device was also visible on my Microsoft account page. After the hardware replacement, Windows automatically deactivated because it detected a hardware change. I tried the Activation Troubleshooter and selected the option “I changed hardware on this device recently”, but the original device was not offered in the list, even though it had been linked to my Microsoft account before the change. I also tried entering my original Windows 7 product key (the one on the sticker attached to the PC), which was used to activate Windows 7 before I upgraded to Windows 10 for free. However, Windows rejected the key with error code 0x803FA067. This is not an OEM license, so as far as I understand it should be transferable after a hardware change. Has anyone experienced this before? What should I do next to restore activation? Is there a way to manually re-link the digital license to this hardware? Thank you.

I Run Windows 7 Ultimate x64 And I need to Activate Windows, I am used to the new aka.ms/aoh replacing the phone line. But I Have Activated Windows XP & Vista Without Any Problems Multiple Times, I Tested It Too, Tried 7, Starter, Home, Pro, Ultimate, Even x32 & x64. Though, No matter what, everything BUT Windows 7 Works. This Is Clearly a Server Sided Issue And I've Had This problem for the past months maybe even about a year. (The Product Key I Am Using Is Not Public on The Internet So It's Not Blocked/Used Publicly By Everyone, it is the same product key that came with the CD) And I Can Say For Certain This is a Server Sided Issue. Please Help. And Thank You For Your Time.

Office 365 Activation suddenly failing. SARA and Uninstall/Wipe/Reinstall not helping. HELP!
Hello - need help getting my Office 365 (fully paid, up to date) subscription is suddenly indicating "(Unlicensed Product)" as of the past week, on my Windows 11 (build 26231.5000 ge_prerelease) PC. I have performed all troubleshooting tasks Microsoft provides online, uninstalled/wiped/reinstalled Office multiple times now, run SARA multiple times, and still continue to be unable to activate my Office products. Clicking on the "Activate Product" or "Fix Me" buttons both results in a "Sign In to Office" page, (even though I'm already signed in) and results in a permanent, repeated cycle of re-signing in, without the product activating. After hours of dialog with support, the agent directed me to the Insider support, as they had exhausted all options for "standard" Windows PCs. I really need some advanced support here please!
How to fix activation issue on Windows 11?
I am using windows 11 that been upgraded from windows 10, the problem is after more or less a year now it asking me to activate it. What I supposed to do with this scenario, enter a product key from supplier (by the way I bought an already built Computer.) so I don't know where to get the product key, or I need to buy window 11 pro digital license key, or is there any other way that will not cost me a penny?Windows Server 2022 Essential Activation
Hi, I'm writing for the company in which I work. The company, 1 year ago, bought a little server and the reseller gave us it with Windows Server 2022 Essential installed. The PK was put on the side of the server and gave us also a DVD. After a year, the server was giving some issues, so I've decided to buy a new HD to install it again. I've tried to put the DVD of Windows Server 2022 Essential into pc but I've just discovered it is in Deutch and I cannot speak in that language so for me is impossible to install it. Since I was not able to find any iso of this OS in microsoft website I've downloaded the 2022 standard evaluation. After installation I've tried to put into the activation tool the PK we have for this computer but system says this PK is not valid. Pls can anyone help me to understand how can I install again the 2022 essential with our PK? Thank youKMS being overruled by Microsoft Activation server
tldr : For some reason the Microsoft activation link is taking precedence over my local KMS. Any ideas? The endpoints at my org have started to downgrade to Windows 10 Pro, sort of. On an effected endpoint, when I run slmgr /dlv, it says the endpoint is reaching out to https://activation-v2.sls.microsoft.com/SLActivateProduct/SLActivateProduct.asmx?configextension=Retail to activate. It also states that the license is Win10 Pro. However, if I run winver, it still comes up as Win 10 enterprise, which we are licensed for. We have had a KMS for a long time and it is and has been working fine. This just started happening recently. If I force the client to KMS by using slmgr /ipk "KMSKEY", then run /slmgr /ato, it correctly sets back to the kms. However, 4 to 8 hours later, it resets itself to point to https://activation-v2.sls.microsoft.com/SLActivateProduct/SLActivateProduct.asmx?configextension=Retail Its not group policy, I have run gpupdate /force and the endpoint is still looking at KMS. If I run nslookup -type-srv_vlmcs._tcp it comes back as the local KMS server, so I know my KMS is working ok. For some reason the Microsoft activation link is taking precedence over my local KMS. Any ideas?
