We are trying to activate Windows 7 ESU licence but post successful activation it is showing Unlicensed .

In only one system it is showing Licensed.

Could you please help on this.

    @Nilimesh Halder
    Hi,
    You appear to have successfully activated the ESU key. However, the key still does not seem to be properly licensed.

    What the possible cause is the slmgr /ato command did not correctly pass the ESU activation ID.

    To use the activation ID, run the following command:

    slmgr /ato <Activation ID>

    Note:
    In this command, <Activation ID> represents the activation ID of the ESU key.

    Hope above information can help you.

    I'd verify system and servicing health by running;
    sfc /scannow

    also system update readiness tool

    Then check for errors in;
    %SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
