    Hi,

    You might see this error if you entered a product key for the Enterprise edition of Windows to activate

    Windows 10 Pro. Activation in Windows 10 will depend on how you got your copy of Windows.
    To find the activation method that works with your copy of Windows, kindly refer to this

    Microsoft article    .

    Check out this
    link     for a list of activation error codes and the suggested steps to troubleshoot it.
