Windows 10: Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise 21H2 Evaluation Expired on Fresh Install NO 90 Days!

Hello,I have bought a new SSD and reformatted my old conventional hard drive. I normally use Windows 10 Pro and have a license for that.However, I wanted to try the full 90 days evaluation using Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise 21H2 but I have no luck! I never tried LTSC in my PC ever before so I have no experience other than what I am experiencing today.Within 1 hour my PC shuts down straight away. As you can see I installed it today on the 27th of July 2024.But the Windows watermark is already showing Windows License has expired.I then checked Event Viewer and this is what I see. License Acti

Why is a fresh Enterprise Evaluation installation license expired?

Hello,

We are having the exact same problem. We have replicated this issue in 6 states around Australia. We reinstall the Windows 10 Enterprise evaluation version to hundreds of computers within a Microsoft Training environment and use a range of Win 10 versions. All have the same activation problem. Time was originally my first point of concern, then the embedded key.

In our case, the partial key is: YG9R6

You can get this by running CMD as admin, then type slmgr /dlv

We tried downloading and installing the Great British version to try if the key or activation servers are different, but they are not. Onto the LTSC version!

This looks to be an activation server issue to us. Have a look at these issues below. This has happened before. We have to get the attention of someone within Microsoft to reactivate these keys or publish new ones.

Why is a fresh Enterprise Evaluation installation license expired?

I have the same problem. I reinstalled Windows 10 Enterprise 2021 LTSC Evaluation and I did not get free 90 days license.
I have installed 19044.1288.211006-0501.21h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us a few days ago and tried to activate and use "-rearm" command but the eval license did NOT activate.

I have just installed the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 Evaluation ISO and can confirm that the key is expired and trying to activate it just produces the below error. Please could someone at Microsoft look into this and resolve it as it makes the evaluation useless as it shuts down every hour due to not being activated.
