I recently created an Azure VM using Windows 10 Enterprise 21H1
image.
While creating, (since I was planning to buy a Microsoft 365 F3
license seperately to activate this VM) I confirmed this in licensing section:
After finishing the deployment, I connected to it via RDP using the local administrator account. (Didn't added the F3 licence yet with an Azure AD user).
And when I checked the activation settings, it already says that windows is activated.
Why is this so? I didn't activated the Windows 10 enterprise manually with the M365 licence, but still it shows that it is activated.
Is this something like a trial period provided by microsoft? Will it disable that activation after some time?
Should i do an Azure AD join of that VM and use M365 F3 license to activate that windows properly?
