In this article, we will discuss an activation error in Windows 10 where you receive the message: “The product key you entered cannot be used to activate this edition.” What causes this situation and how can it be fixed?
1) If you have purchased a key to upgrade from one version of Windows 10 to another, it’s possible that your installed version of Windows 10 is not eligible for the upgrade intended by the activation key. For instance, if you have Windows 10 Enterprise installed and you have a key for Windows 10 Home, the upgrade won’t be possible. In this case, first install the correct version of the system, and then activate your key.
2) You may have purchased an activation key that is not meant for upgrading from one version of Windows 10 to another. In this scenario, you also need to first install the correct version of the system, and then activate your key.
3) Alternatively, if your activation key matches your version of the system, then you should contact your seller for further assistance. If you don’t have a valid activation key, you can purchase one from our catalog at the lowest prices starting from 10.2 €. Keys are delivered instantaneously via email.
