Activating Windows Operating Systems

Issue/Question

Why is my device prompting for a product key or digital license to activate Windows?

Environment

  • Windows

Resolution

Depending on how you received your copy of Windows, you will need either a 25-character product key or a digital license for activation.

WKU does not provide product keys or digital licenses for Windows operating systems for personal devices.

You may visit: Find Your Windows Product Key for more information.

If you are experiencing this issue with a WKU-owned device, please submit this service request.
