Windows 10: Installation key for Windows 11 Write Protected

I bought the Windows 11 Pro installation with the USB key. It won't install because it says there's an error on the key. I download the create Windows 11 installation media to just overwrite the files but it says the key is write protected. There's no switch to turn that off on the key and there's no option under properties to turn off write protection. Is there ant way to still use the key?

Attempts to install Win11 resulted in an NVME being Write-Protected. How do I clear Write-Protection?

I am in the same situation. I bought a new laptop with Windows 11 Home and added a 2 TB NVMe SSD to it. I upgraded to Win 11 Pro. Everything worked fine with the drive at that point; however, I had to perform a reset to reinstall the OS for other reasons. When the reinstall was finished, the NVMe was write protected. I took all of the same steps listed in this thread with the same results - the drive remains write protected.
