[REACTIVE] - LICENSE WINDOW 11 Home/Pro CSP

Question

I have 1 question as follows:

If I buy 6 windows 11 home/pro licenses via CSP channel for 6 PCs.

When 1 of 6 PCs is damaged, can I reactive that license to the new machine? Or do I have to buy a new one

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Yes, you can reactivate the license on a new machine if one of the six PCs is damaged. You do not need to buy a new license. However, there are some conditions that need to be met:

• The license must be a full Windows 11 Home/Pro license, not an upgrade license.
• The new machine must meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11.
• You must deactivate the license on the old machine before activating it on the new machine.

Answer 2

Hello

Typically, with Microsoft’s CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) program, the licenses you purchase are not tied to a specific device, they are user-based. This means you can reassign the license from the damaged PC to a new one. However, as far as I know, Microsoft’s terms and conditions usually allow license reassignment to a new device only once every 90 days, except in the case of hardware failure.

It is recommended to contact your CSP for definitive information based on your specific licensing agreement.
