    Hi Kevin Trucks

    If you want to determine whether the key has been activated, you can use the slmgr.vbs command to query the status and information of the license. This command is a script file for managing Windows activation, which can be run at the command prompt or in Windows PowerShell. You can use the following parameters to query for licenses:

    1.slmgr.vbs /dlv: Displays the details of the license, including installation date, number of resets remaining, activation ID, etc.

    2.slmgr.vbs /dli: Displays brief information about the license, including license status, SKU ID, activation type, etc.

    3.slmgr.vbs /xpr: Displays the expiration date of the license, or "Never expires" if it is permanently activated.

    4.slmgr.vbs /ato: Attempts to activate the currently installed license and displays the activation result.

    You can query the specified license key by appending each parameter, such as slmgr.vbs /dlv XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. If you do not specify a license key, the currently installed license key is queried by default.

    Hope it is helpful for you.

    Kind regards,

    Lei
