    Hi sagar patil,

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue with your Microsoft account. I understand how frustrating it can be when your account shows "View Only" or "Unlicensed", especially when you're trying to claim your subscription.

    This may be a temporary service or account synchronization issue. I'd recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours and then trying again to update the license or redeem the subscription. Sometimes these issues resolve automatically after Microsoft's systems finish processing account or licensing changes.

    If the problem still persists after 24 to 48 hours, please contact Microsoft Support directly so they can review your account and subscription status in more detail: https://support.microsoft.com/contactus

    Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused, and I hope the issue is resolved for you soon. If you need further assistance, please let us know.
