    If I buy 2021 LTSC non IoT product key, does 2021 LTSC non IoT product key works in 2021 LTSC non IoT?

    2021 LTSC has two images, and three SKUs.

    Image 1 = SKU EnterpriseS + SKU IoTEnterpriseS
    Image 2 = SKU EnterpriseSN

    Long in short, each SKU has to use its own key to activate.

    If you buy a 2019 LTSC Volume license key, then you can do an in-place upgrade to 2021 LTSC and keep the same license. If you want to do a clean install of 2021 LTSC, you either need to buy a new license or try an activator like abbodi1406's KMS_VL_ALL_AIO.

    Yes, I stand corrected. I wouldn't want to violate M$ TOS from my Linux terminal.
    However, I did perform an in-place upgrade from 2019 LTSC to Enterprise 20H2 last year, and I don't recall entering a key or license in the process. It must have magically happened.

    Hi all,
    Do you think it could work? :

    1. I install LTSC 2021 on my languange.
    2. Change it to IoT with key
    3. Activate it with HWID
    4. Reinstall the system with LTSC 2021 on my languange
    5. Change it again to IoT
    6. Question: will it activate the IoT automatically after the reinstall?

    When you change to IoT and go online it will activate automatically

    perform an in-place upgrade by mounting the iso you upgrade from :) after use your new key to activate.

    overlooked the writing on behalf of language barrier or something.. but have you checked the avatar? it's freaking spot-on, must be either real, or computer-generated..
