Normally Enterprise Versions and Volume licenses with 180 days limitation are not sold to public, those are sold to Corporates only. That's done because of changes inside the company/organization, use of the same licenses by employees who couldn't use to reactivated them after been out of the comp/org and and and. For that it makes sense using the 180 day cycle. In normal public use there isn't KMS activation or 180 day limit!
Try sfc /scannow, if it does not work go to "PC settings" and select "Refresh your PC without affecting files" if it worked then download MTK and activate.
You could buy licenses unlimited and limited. Difference is the cost. I didn't have the details at hand at the moment, I'm still in Hospital for another 2-3 weeks because of internal injuries by the accident last week and have only my laptop at hand. Also typing with left hand only because 2 Fingers right are broke.
I have already done the sfc /scannow in normal as well as safe mode. I know about the 'Refresh your PC', but that will remove program files that I installed. I'll do it as a last resort.
Run this command under elevated command prompt & see.. Code: cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk if still shows error, reinstall licences using /rilc and last /rearm
All the three commands gives me the following error. I have run the commands as the Administrator (i.e. Run as administrator) Code: Error: 0x80070005 Access denied: the requested action requires elevated privileges
copy the below in to txt and name it a .reg file, then merge it and reboot , then check if problem is gone.

Yeah that is going to be my last resort. But I can't understand that I've done everything right, still I have problems with Windows Activation. And also I googled it on Internet, no one is seeming to have the same problem that of mine. I really want to know what the problem is to avoid that in future.
In that case, if you can, use a new HDD for the new installation and keep that old HDD for to "play" with that problem if the time allows. So as of now, you just wasting a lot of time with no end in sight!
