Windows 10: Win 10 Retail random activation request

hi guys i have a problem.I have win 10 updated to CU(1703) with last update.
I updated with Iso mounted in windows place(no clean install)

After the update, windows was activated, but sometimes in the right bottom of the screen there is a "windows is not acivated"

The strange thing is if i run
slmgr.vbs -dlv
slmgr.vbs -xpr

windows result perfectly activated.What should be?

:)

 

upgraded to win10 home

Unless you are trying to install from a retail purchase of Win-10 you do not need a 'key'.

If you upgrade from a qualifying OS that is activated your Win-10 will be activated automatically.

Check Settings System to see if your Win-10 is activated.

 

Cannot activate Windows 10 after changing motherboard

activation of windows 10 pro has given be headaches. Installed new mother board and Win 10 pro and locked my 8.1 retail version key out.

activation impossible for win 10 pro- Original Title

 

What does Settings > Update & security > Activation say? Does it have a Digital license?

 

Hi there

Not sure if it now always connects to the internet and checks at every boot to see if there's a digital licence.
The best way to check would be to shut down the machine, disconnect it from the Internet and re-boot. See if it activates within a few minutes without connecting to the internet.

yes, its reported "windows is activated with digital license"

i will try this and i report.

thanks for now

 

i will try this and i report. For comparison, I have tried this too. In Win 10 Pro x86 v. 1703, os build 15063.296 I disconnected WiFi and turned WiFi off, then restarted. Then I shut down and restarted again, just to be sure.

Settings > Update & security > Activation still reports "Windows is activated with a digital licence".
Slmgr.vbs /xpr reports "The machine is permanently activated."

 

i have tried this me too, and i reports "The machine is permanently activated."

for now seem all ok.
Do you use retail key?

the strange thing is that sometimes with the cmd Slmgr.vbs /xpr windows is activated, but Settings > Update & security > Activation say reports windows not activated

 

Digital licences are renewable and checked at certain intervals - Event viewer lists "Network available" as one task trigger - if the activation server is unavailable an error will be reported...

It does seem that something has changed in CU though.. as I checked my event log and saw the error 0x803F7001 (server not available) occured one day then the next no errors.

I didn't get any notifications/deactivations etc.

I just checked as a matter of interest when dealing with this Win10 Insider Activation not showing Solved - Windows 10 Forums

 

I had issues with activating my Enterprise install(s) with my MAK key. Running slmgr /ato from the command line fixed it though. And surprise, surprise, they all got Digital Licenses. *Confused The changes to the way Windows 10 activates with each new consumer release, I think has things in a flux. I'm not sure everybody at Microsoft is on the same page activation wise? IMHO, something is not quite right on the activation servers.

 

i have retail key, but it's reported as "digital license" :\

 

As near as I can tell, everything except VL KMS gets a Digital License now.

 

my windows require activation again. WTF

 

You seem to have a similar error as the issue in the link in my previous post... where the licence cannot be verified online.

Post the report so we can check what's the cause.

 

@Superfly


ok, when the issue come up i report the issue.

Could there be a firewall problem? because i use windows firewall control *Shock
