Windows 10: Activation State --- Not Active

Called customer service to have a license for Windows 11 Pro transferred to my new Surface. I purchased the Windows 11 Pro license from Microsoft in 9/2022 and have a receipt and order number. They gave me a key to activate Windows 11 Pro. I typed the key in and went through the steps to activate. It worked and hung up with the Microsoft rep. Now it is saying I do not have a valid license and is giving me 0xC004C003 code. Microsoft customer service gave me the code, how can I not have a valid code??? I contacted Microsoft through the help function in Windows and didn't get a call back until 9:

Hi,

If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security >
  Activation.
  
• If your activation status is Connect to the Internet to activate Windows, select Activate to manually activate Windows. If this doesn’t work, you can contact customer support.
