    Built a second PC, activation code does not work, signed in and it used my digital license....


    I built a machine for my daughter out of my old parts. I also bought a license for Win 11 Pro from Woot a while back to use with it. I'm now having two issues.The license key does not appear to work figuresI signed in to the new PC with my Microsoft account, and it now says Windows is activatedThis cannot be good, because I would assume the same digital Windows license can't be used on two machines. I expect trouble down the road if I leave it. Does anyone have any experience with this situation?

    :)
