Hello,
The company plans to sell some of the desktop computers for which a volume license stored in VLSC was purchased. We do not want to get rid of licenses, only the equipment (of course without hard drives). How to permanently remove a license that has been assigned to the motherboard. The system can be activated even after formatting the disk and reinstalling it by going to settings -> updates -> activation -> troubleshooting and after a while you can select System activation.
The following cmd commands do not work:
slmgr.vbs /upk
slmgr.vbs /cpky
slmgr.vbs /rearm

The 3V66T is a generic volume key and is not tied to the motherboard. You should be fine to sell the hardware. No effect on your volume license product keys.

why is the system activated then?
A generic product key is a tool that allows users to install or upgrade to a specific Windows edition. These keys are default keys that allow you to install the OS without activation. They don't provide you with a licensed copy.
