Trying to activate Win11 laptops which are AD azure Joined and have Win11 Pro licenses. I am signed into the laptop with a user that has a Microsoft 365 E3 license. Office programs correctly use the "Microsoft 365 E3 license" but the laptops are still using Win11 pro licenses for OS activation

    Hi BitTech01-1104,

    If your laptops are activated, you really don't need to worry about which key is being used. The key is not your license, your E3 or OVS agreements are your entitlement to use the software. The office activation is operating differently because of the alternative way the licensing works for that software.
