Windows 10: The product key you entered didn't work

Bought Windows 10 Pro 64-bit v1709

Installed from DVD.

Installed fine, but came up as Home.

Went into Settings/Activation and entered key.

Got message back that product key you entered didn't work

0xc004f050

Error: 0x80070424, "the product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key or enter a different one" on Windows 10

Thanks Andre,

That does not work. As I stated in my question I get an error code of 0x80070424 "the product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key or enter a different one.

Any other suggestions?
