Anyone seeing Windows 10 activation errors?
My PC and a laptop today has become "unactivated" and when i try to re activate it says the key is for Home not Pro.
Think these machines were upgraded from Windows7/8 Pro during the "Free" upgrade period microsoft did.

The upgrade was for the same revision though. Win 7 Home to Win 10 Home.
If you were running Win 10 Pro, then someone likely activated these with a Win 10 Pro key via a clean install.

Update
While there remains no official statement from Microsoft on the problem, users have reported that the hardworking support operatives of the Windows giant have warned that there is indeed a "temporary issue" with its activation servers related to the Pro edition. Affected customers are advised to sit tight and wait for a fix. An estimate for when that might be? Anywhere from one to two days. Oh dear.(from https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/08/windows_10_activation/)

Moving moving files from unreplicated SAN to one that is fully replicated and works so much better.
