When working with a Microsoft operating system, specifically Windows 10 , it is vital that it is active with the original license that was given at the time of purchasing the equipment or if we purchase the license from the Windows store, remember that System activation is one of the ways that Microsoft implements for its Windows 10 operating system that seeks to stop piracy, but even beyond this, if the system is not active with a valid license it will be impossible to perform some tasks such as customizing the system , get updates of new versions and more affecting not only the integrity but the security of the equipment..
If we have a Windows 10 system that has activation errors, a tip is to deactivate the license with errors and proceed to register a valid license to enjoy all the benefits of having an active system.
The activation of Windows 10 verifies that the copy of Windows is not being used on more devices than the license allows and is also useful in cases where you want to transfer that key to another computer..
TechnoWikis will explain how we can deactivate the current license and register a new serial in Windows 10 . All licensing processes can be managed by the Software Licensing Manager - Software License Manager (SLMgr) which contains a VBScript called slmgr.vbs whose mission is to track the details of the licenses on the computer. It is interesting and necessary to know how to use it to be able to make this type of configuration.
The SLMgr script gives users the possibility to consult the current installation and see details about the installation of Windows 10 as well as the activation and licensing status. With SLMgr.vbs it will also be possible to enter or change the 25-character product key which is associated with a version of the Windows operating system and also indicates to the installation program if a full or upgrade license has been acquired..
