    Your windows license will expire soon


    Hey guys,
    I keep getting the "your windows license will expire soon" popup in the Win 10 anniversary update. I disabled Windows License Manager and Windows Update in services.msc and did the slmmgr rearm thingy in CMD. Initially it kept popping up every minute or so. Now it only pops up twice in a row, when I log into Windows.
    Any ideas on what to do? All I can find seems to be for the original Windows 10, not the anniversary update.
    Thanks.

    :)

    Did you buy the PC from another person, from a company that used it before, from a retail outlet like Best Buy or Staples, or from the PC's manufacturer, like HP or Acer? The error ou see occurs only if the copy of Windows was installed as part of a corporation's
    volume license which, in a retail setting, would make it illegal.

    "Your Windows license will expire soon."

    The screenshot shows your licence is a KMS licence normally used by businesses. This is incorrect for a single user at home. You say Microsoft upgraded your system, how did this happen. In a previous post you mention going to Pro.

    If you purchased the device from a retailer with Windows 10 installed then that is the edition and type you have a licence for and not what you currently have installed. A factory reset/recovery or a clean install of the correct edition is what you need
    now. All data will be removed from the device so be sure you backup your personal files.

    This usually happens when a key is a volume licence key and pc cannot contact the company server to remain active.

    Run slmgr /dlv from an admin command prompt and post image (data is not confidential).

    This confirms my suspicion. You have a volume licence key. These are not supposed to be sold to general public. Basically a scam.
