Issue: I am getting this message: "Your Windows license will expire soon"
Environment: Windows, university-owned PC, off-campus, remote employee
Resolution: There are two ways to resolve this issue...
- If you are planning on returning to campus soon, bring the computer with you and connect it to the campus network either via a wired ethernet connection (typically via a docking station in your office) or via the eduroam WiFi service. Within a few hours, the workstation will check in and renew the Windows license in the background. You may use the computer normally during this time; all processes related to activation occur in the background.
- Connect to the campus VPN service and stay connected for a few hours. This will allow the workstation to communicate with campus systems and renew the license. You may use the computer normally during this time; all processes related to activation occur in the background. If you are unable to connect to VPN, please contact DoTS for further assistance.
