This means your device is refusing to use it because of a security block. It likely happened after you changed hardware, so double-check your setup.

Regrettably, contacting Microsoft is necessary right now... Windows handles this now...

It might have been an original component, but it's usually safest to perform a clean Windows setup following a new motherboard installation.

It connects the key to your motherboard at activation time. If it's a retail key, contact the retailer via phone to request a replacement or unlock option.

I faced the same problem, so I contacted Microsoft. At least they resolved it within half an hour. Even though this isn’t ideal, the support was excellent and they addressed it quickly.

On the line with someone new. The first person said I needed to purchase another Windows copy... I told them no, I’m not spending another $200. Now I’m chatting with a different person.

I experienced the same issue; during a Windows 10 Pro setup, the system indicated the key was blocked. When I contacted support, I explained the situation and they performed a remote LogMeIn session. They reviewed a log file that tracks activation status and confirmed it had been activated earlier. They then gave me a fresh key to enter.
