Show available digital licenses in our Microsoft account in Windows 10 settings, activation
There needs to be a way to view available digital licenses inside our Microsoft account, I think in Windows settings => update and security => Activation would be the most suitable place. it has benefits, the most important one is so user can see their available licenses in their Microsoft account and make a wise decision based on that info. please upvote this feedback in feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AAbdhftPP1: I'm trying to transfer my 200 chrome profiles to edge, but i see a big problem
PROBLEM (PP): 1 Classification: GOOGLE PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 10 on a scale from 1 (low) to 10 (high) I like that i don't need to click 10000 install extension messages, i just see 2 banner where i need to confirm, all other is done automatically. Where is the problem? i lose the whole setting of my extensions. 200 extension in random mode that need to be reconfigured one by one. Please try to save the exact position of my chrome extensions, so that i see the same in edge too. Reorder 1 account with few extensions is a point, reorder 50 is another. i just wish to continue same workflow i'm doing on chrome with chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu support on edge, since such google apps with old ui are not compatible with apple cpu soon**. google has no idea to revert such thing back (now i restarted another discussion about the extension problem). this is why i want to start to use edge for such accounts. for me is ok if you implement this feature in 2021 or 2022 too, but please add it. at the end now i'm still using sierra - mojave on all my macs. i wish i could simply tell edge "connect to google sync and download extension order file". so you import such setting without need to activate google sync on my mac. i just need a web login. Between the 2, the fact that edge should be able to keep extension order is more important. ** we need to remember that both chrome dev and beta sidebyside version (and enterprise version soon too), that google just released, are not chrome://flags/#extensions-toolbar-menu compatible.
KMS 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?
Windows Server 2022 Essentials Activation Error
Hi, I bought a new Dell server with Windows Server 2022 Essentials licence. It came with the key for Windows Server 2022 Essentials. So, I found this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-essentials/get-started/get-started, and here I can read the Note: With Windows Server 2022, the Essentials edition is available to purchase from OEMs only, however there is no specific installation media. Instead, an Essentials edition product key is used to activate the Standard edition of Windows Server 2022. So, I intalled using a Windows Server 2022 Standard ISO and it didn't ask for a key on installtion process and configured it, but when trying to activate, it gave this error: The product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one. (0xc004f050) I double and triple checked the key and I'm sure it's right. Need a help here, the server is already in production and can't be reinstalled. Thank youLet us change Windows edition from Windows settings activation section
I have multiple editions of Windows 10 digital license tied to my Microsoft account and It would be really convenient if there was an option in Windows settings so I could choose another edition to Upgrade/Downgrade to. (Not with command-line or installing generic product keys) the same upgrade/downgrade user is offered when troubleshooting activation. for example, when user has Windows 10 pro license in their Microsoft account and the installed edition is Pro for workstation, the activation troubleshooter allows user to Downgrade to Pro, or Vice Versa.

ADBA Windows 10 Activation Not Persistent
I have setup ADBA for Windows 10 activation. We're having an issue where different and multiple workstations randomly get the watermark saying to activate Windows. When checking Start / Settings / Update & Security / Activation this also shows that Windows is not activated. HOWEVER when running SLMGR.VBS /DLV, the status shows as licensed. The various troubleshooting steps we have used include SLMGR /ato to reactivate which always works. SLMGR /ipk to manually apply the license (recommended by "MS Support") Replace the TOKENS.DAT (recommended by "MS Support") I put MS Support in quotes because it's their outsourced support. So far nothing has stuck. We have ADBA objects for Server 2019 and Office 2019. So far none of our 2019 servers or Office activations have this issue. Please help if possible. Thanks. FL
To go crazy or not to go crazy, I think that is the question.
Hi there, I bought an MSI (GT72S Dominator Pro G 6QE) laptop in 2015. It came with 2 ssds on the laptop with "raid 0" mode applied. The 2 ssds on the laptop came as a single disk (C:) with "raid 0" mode set, and after changing the "raid 0" mode so that the disks would appear separately (C: + D:), the recovery I created earlier I did a reinstall with the "usb disk". i started getting activation error after i finished installing with recovery usb drive. Did you make a hardware change in the error it gave in the activation section? After answering "yes" to the question, I ran the activation troubleshooter and informed that the problem was resolved and the system was successfully activated. Then I restored many programs and backups I've been using, I don't remember exactly, but I used it for a while without any problems. After a short while I was surprised to see the "enable windows" warning in the lower right corner. I tried all kinds of solutions mentioned in the comments on various web pages and Microsoft help pages, but no matter what I did, I was unsuccessful. We had a phone call with a Microsoft Turkey official, and after connecting to the laptop remotely and applying a few codes using the command prompt, he asked if there was no digital license embedded in the bios, if I had taken the device to a service for any malfunction or maintenance, and I told him "I did not take it". I gave. I think upon this answer, he thought that I was lying, that I was trying to activate the system through hacking ways, and ended the conversation by stating that I needed to talk to an MSI representative. After completing the installation with the recovery usb drive, I started getting an activation error. Did you make a hardware change in the error it gave in the activation section?

I think upon this answer, he thought that I was lying, that I was trying to activate the system through hacking ways, and ended the conversation by stating that I needed to talk to an MSI representative. I tried to explain the situation by talking to the MSI representative on the phone as it said there was no license key in the system bios and asked him to find out what my original license key was on my computer when I bought it. and email it to me. Shortly after, I received an email with the license key and enthusiastically logged into the system with the specified license key. I don't remember the exact order now, but the first time I tried it or the day after I entered the key, when I booted the system, the "activate windows" warning popped up again and I was getting really pissed off. Warnings stating that my license is not genuine, that I need to activate it by purchasing a new license key, etc. Tired of the story? Really? 🙂 I think it will be more fun from now on... Although I got error messages, I finally got the original license from MSI authority. I couldn't stand the wait and stopped talking to the attendant and went back to searching the various web pages. By the way, I have a company serving in the renewable energy sector. I bought this computer in 2015 to use in my business after founding my company. (Even the invoice and e-mail of the online shopping site I bought while ordering remain.) Recently, my work started to get busy, I think I lost a lot of time with this frustrating experience, I was going to go. get an activation key again, but that's the case now. It has been a matter of stubbornness for me. It is much more difficult for me to get a license key again with money on top of the time I spend unnecessarily and I still believe that I will get through this situation somehow. Anyway, let's continue where we left off. I decided to follow the advice on various web pages, "If the methods you've tried don't work, you should do a clean install". After downloading the "Windows 10 Home" version with the "Recovery Media Creation Tool" that I downloaded from Microsoft's web page, I started to follow the other steps mentioned and at this point I made the mistake of my life. After the application told me to start the installation by inserting a usb drive into my computer to create the recovery media, I did exactly as it said and deleted the only copy I had, the original recovery copy that came with the system. , the recovery media inside was also deleted, the only copy was on the usb drive I used for the clean install and applied formatting... Thus; On my way to Midyat to buy rice, I ate bulgur at home. (A general term.) I would like to thank Microsoft for giving me the experience of living together emotions such as anger, sadness and depression. Thanks, stay tuned, glorious Microsoft. I guess I can't buy this experience you gave me with money.. 🙂 Where we were? Did you think it's over huh.. 🙂 To do a clean install, I installed it with the Windows 10 Home version that I downloaded and installed on the usb memory, which caused the single copy to be deleted and I set the ssd drivers back to "Raid 0" before doing it. ", just like when I bought the system for the first time. After the installation, I could not activate it with the license key I got from the MSI authorized service. I checked whether there is an oem license key in the bios with various tools, because the Microsoft official told me that there is no oem license key embedded in the bios. When I checked this time, there was a license key, but it was a different key than the one given by MSI authorized service. I think I started researching again due to an error warning like "Core Version" that appeared in my activation attempts with the original key given to me. This time, after downloading the "Windows 10 Home Single Language" version and installing with the necessary usb driver, the activation took place, but after a while (for example, when I go from home to work, when I connect to the wifi internet at my workplace, the "Activate Windows" error warning is displayed in the lower right corner. From the very beginning, when I checked my Microsoft Account, which I used to log in to the system, it was strange that at the end of each reboot/run of the system, my laptop with the same user and device name would appear in my account multiple times, as if it were different computers. , the same user, at least 20+ devices with the same user and system name appear in my microsoft account.This may be a clue. I think I did a lot of reinstallation after formatting to do what I described, but I could not find a solution to the problem. In summary, right now; -Win 10 Home Single Language version is installed, sometimes the activation warning message disappears by itself, after a while it comes back again. - I have the original windows activation key that the MSI official gave me. - When I first purchased the system, the Windows version that came with it may have been 8 or 8.1, unfortunately I do not remember. - I don't know which version of the product key I have. - I've been signing in with the same Microsoft account (even multiple accounts I've used for years) from the very beginning (the day I bought it). "Normally, shouldn't Microsoft recognize me?" - My brain stopped again, I don't know what else I have... What can I do in this situation? There can be any Professor who can help me or a Candidate who will treat this situation as a "Graduation Thesis" topic, someone who can help me?, Microsoft Official ? Is not there? It's like a joke.. Make up your mind and don't get involved in things you don't know like me! Apply after obtaining the opinion and approval of authorized persons, including the slightest hardware change request. Otherwise, you'll end up with life like me. Lastly, the dialogues between me and the person I talked to. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_licensing/windows-10-etkinle%c5%9ftme-ve-ayn%c4%b1/41fa37bc-3ff5-4dea-a8c4-5f8e08e4e2a4?%20messageId=221a931d-1fe7-4588-8cdd-76c32bb81a8dWindows Activation troubleshooter shows "Upgrade" even when you are Downgrading edition
Happens on Windows 10 20H2 and also insider Beta/Dev. I have Windows 10 pro Workstation installed, but in my MSFT account I have digital license for Windows 10 pro only. so I use activation troubleshooter and it successfully finds the license and offers to convert Windows 10 edition from Pro Workstation to Pro, to activate it, but it shows by Mistake to "Upgrade" editions, even though Pro Workstation to Pro is a DOWNGRADE. so Windows needs to be aware of edition changes and show the correct term to the user. p.s Pro Workstation is more expensive than Pro and also has more features.
