Windows 10: Windows 10 Organization Activation Key

I got a Windows Activation Key but it says that I am activated via an organization. I got the key from my dad and he works with technology, so just asking you guys if he can monitor my computer via organization activation key?

:)

 

couldn't activate windows

I couldn't activate my windows 10. it said "we can't connect to your organization's activation server. make sure you connected to your organization's network and try again." and here I don't understand what they mean by organization's activation server.
I tried to changed product key, but still couldn't activate windows.

 

window don't activate?

Whoever installed it, might have installed a volume license (organization key) on your computer.

Windows 10 Enterprise volume license clients are used by large organizations that deploy Windows 10 in bulk to hundreds or thousands of computers. Sometimes, users will copy these organization keys off the Internet and use them to install Windows 10 Enterprise,
but they are blocked from activating because it can't reach appropriate KMS host (Server computer) which handles the activation request.

 

No, unless he has remote software, like Teamviewer, installed. The key is only to activate the OS.

 

He does have remote software for business.

 

The mention of "activated via an organization" suggests the edition of Win10 is Enterprise, not Professional or Home, further confirmed by the "I got the key from my dad" part.

 

It says that it is Windows 10 Pro

 

Pro can be activated with a VL or MAK key same as Enterprise. What does Settings > Update & security > Activation say?

 

This is what it say

So where is it saying "activated via an organization"?

 

First time I entered the code it says it couldn't be activated because of an Organization. Don't know if organization being Microsoft or the company my dad works for.

 

This sounds like the red "Some settings are managed by your organization" notice that sometimes appears on a Settings page. This can be down to something as simple as using gpedit to change certain settings, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive list of which ones trigger the message. It doesn't mean some sinister 'Organisation' has control of the PC, it just means certain registry settings have been changed from their defaults. The reference to an 'organisation' is because such changes are most commonly found when a company sets a system-wide policy for their employees. I first saw this on my upgrade from Windows 7 to the first RTM release (Win10 Home 10240) last year - and I'm definitely a home-based user. Discussed further here...
Some settings are managed by your organisation

 

Alright, thank you.

 

Where did you get your install media from?

 

I do not know, I got it from my dad, he burned it on a CD. He works at CoxMedia with IT infrastructure.
