I updated my computer today to 24H2 and after it rebooted it requested me to activate my copy of Windows Home. I attempted to using the key that I have but it says that it can't.
I have inserted a screenshot below. If you need any further information please let me know.
cheers

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
So far, every machine we have gotten this update on at my firm has lost its licensing immediately after.
Many of these are new OEM Win 11 pro keys that came with the installation media when building the workstations.
It's a massive disaster.
Additionally, this update is somehow bypassing our group policies that defer updates for 6 months and is updating immediately.
I also have the same problem my pc is build by a shop they installed an OEM version on it and I can see the key in system info. But I don't have a activated Windows 11 anymore. Also happened after update to 24h2 today...
I have same problem with OEM key. Immediately after 24H2 update my windows 11 was deactivated. Then randomly after one restart it was activated again. Now it is deactivated no matter how many times I restart.
In our organization few user already reported that their windows 11 Enterprise not activated after the 24h2 update. Do we have fix for this ?
I had the same trouble. An hour on the phone with an Indian Ms support worker which I could not understand because her accent.
In order to stop mucking about, I bought a Windows Home key on line for NZ $10 (about $5.00 US). I received it within a minute after paying using Google pay (secure). I'm all running again.
