By installation the code wasn’t saved correctly. I found a for me working work-around by taking the following steps:
- Go to the Action Center. Take notice that you see that there is a product code installed which isn’t activated;
- Open an elevated prompt;
- slmgr /upk;
By this command the wrong code is uninstalled/removed; - Convince yourself that there isn’t a product code installaed in the Action Center screen;
- Install the right product code. Go to the Action Center. You see that right product code is installed
