The /upk parameter uninstalls the product key of the current Windows edition. Login to the system with an admin account and open cmd with run as admin rights. The steps are given below to remove the activation key from the system: See the URL for the activation issue error code and the details.
We will be getting an error like “you have reached multiple activation limit” or “Unable to activate the windows with entered key.” If we are formatting the system or removing before license, it may cause you to activate the system back with the same license key, if we are using OEM or multiple activation key and doing the above without following the same process. This is very important for any admin to make sure before formatting any system just remove the license which exists in the systems or are activated. It will work for Windows operating system in all versions.
I am writing about how to reset or remove Windows Activation/Remove license key, using a command.
