Windows 10: Revoking digital license on computer

I bought a copy of windows 10 pro it came in a Microsoft box with a usb drive and product key but when I go to activate windows using the product key it gives me error 0xc004f050? Did it automatically activate with a digital license if so could you revoke it from the computer it’s currently activated on and activate windows on my laptop?

Revoking Digital Licence -- possible ????

Hi there

I've got an older Sony VAIO laptop with a digital licence -- wiped it clean because I want to donate to charity.

But if they install any windows from scratch will the Ms servers have the old digital license / hardware footprint on it.

I'm happy to donate no longer needed pieces of hardware to charity -- but I really need them to install all their own software etc -- so how can one delete / revoke a digital license for a particular PC. I just want to revoke it --not report as Piracy etc -- it's a decent charity !!.

Cheers
jimbo

 

Revoking all Device CAL licenses issue

Dears in Microsoft Support,



we have Windows Server 2012 with License Server activated on two Domain Controllers which they are working as Active/Standby.

We noticed that our client cannot get Device CAL license since all licenses are issued. We tried to revoke licenses but only 20% of licenses can be revoked and we need to wait till April 2019 in order to revoke more.



We need your support on the following:

1. How to revoke all issued Device CAL licenses on Windows 2012 License server?
2. How to revoke specific issued license forcibility even we reach 20% of revoke scenario?
3. How to change expiry date for issued licenses?
4. Currently we have 20 Device CAL licenses, where 10 is installed on DC1 and 10 is installed on DC2. Is this standard Microsoft scenario when having two DC servers working as Active/Standby? Is there any possibility to install the same 20 CAL licenses
   on both DC1 and DC2 separately?

Really appreciate your kind feedbacks

 

Win 10 RTM Core OEMM seems to give me digital license for for my Windows 11 Pro

Yes I did learn a lot thank you! Follow up questions

1. I moved my Windows 10 Pro Retail key from computer to computer a lot (Fresh motherboard PC). It seems to never be converted to digital license?
   
2. What if I need to sell my laptop? Now my retailed key is tied to motherboard fingerprint.
   
3. Can I reuse my windows 8 Retail key on another computer? Hopefully it will revoke the digital license so i can make sure that it is really windows 8 Retail key that is creating the digital license?
