    Struggling to switch from Enterprise Evaluation to Licensed VM Windows


    This is on a Virtualized version of Windows 10 (Ver 1809, OS Build 17763.1554) within Win10 Pro 2004 (OS Build 19041.450)... I can't activate, i've tried active license keys, none of which work . I'm trying to setup a fully working version of win10 virtualized within my win10 so it doesn't keep shutting down !. Being i'm on the Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation, it keeps shutting me down every hr, citing evaluation copy as the error in eventlog.

    If i go to activation to use an available license key, all it tells me is 'This version of windows is expired. Install the latest version to activate. Error Code 0xC004FC07

    Any tips would be appreciated.

    :)

    Struggling to switch from Enterprise Evaluation to Licensed VM Windows

    Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation cannot be activated. It's only a 90 day free trial.

    The reason is simple: As Enterprise edition is only available through Microsoft Volume Licensing agreement, all attempts to activate an evaluation version outside this agreement are obviously not legit, pure piracy, because there simply are no reasons to try to activate the trial version.

    Solution is very simple: get your company a Volume Licensing deal, and get valid, legit volume licensing MAK or KMS keys.

    In case you have Enterprise product keys available through a Visual Studio subscription (VS, former MSDN), you must install a clean copy of Windows 10 Enterprise and activate it using your VS key.

    Windows 10 License activation for Enterprise LTSC Evaluation VM

    I'm currently unable to get a license working for Enterprise LTSC Evaluation, it should be getting the global license when I connect to the internet like it has in the past, but recently any VM I build with the LTSC iso is unable to be licensed. I should
    mention that this is only with LTSC and having no problems with Windows server or the regular enterprise eval.

    Getting error code 0xC004C003 The activation server determined the specified product key is blocked when I do slmgr -ato

    This has been happening for a few days and I've tried all kinds of different slmgr commands and the activation troubleshooter.

    Here is the license details:
