Split from this thread.​

I cannot figure out how to put the new license in the computer. I purchased window's 10 pro license but they did not send the new key with the purchase.

Getting a purchased Windows 10 Pro license key information

Our office has purchased a number of license keys of Windows 10 Professional as the PCs came with the home edition. As such we reinstalled the computers with Windows 10 Pro that we purchased.

Now when we look to see what license key is installed on which computer all the methods of finding the license key give back keys that don't correspond to any that we purchased. We have tried the CMD prompt method with wmic; we tried the produkey free tool
and we have tried the VBS script method.

All of these methods give back product keys that do not match the keys we purchased and used to originally install the computers with. How is this possible and is it possible that the Windows Home edition key that came with the PC is the one that keeps
showing up instead of the Windows 10 Pro version that we installed and used to activate the computer? (This shouldn't be the case as we deleted all partitions and installed from scratch using a USB key...we did NOT do an upgrade)

How can we find out which computer has the installed Windows 10 Pro license key so we can match the license to the PC?

 

Where to purchase a Windows 10 license for a custom built PC?

Maybe they didn't have it when you looked earlier, but the Microsoft Store now lists a downloadable Win 10 Pro for purchase:

Windows 10 Pro: Upgrade or Purchase - Microsoft Store

This is for the USA. It may be available from your country. (Or not.)

Hi,

You can check wether the license has been purchased correctly by Opening the Maps application and going to Options > Extras > My License.

Your license should be listed here. If it is not, i suggest Updating (can be done from the Options menu within My Licenses).

You will need to allow the device to go online to check the license server, but it should then acnowledge your purchase.

If you still have problems, please send me a private message with your IMEI (*#06#) and i will investigate further.

Cheers
