License get auto deactivate in VMware/ Hyper-V enabled machine

Solution

As per our security protocol, license activation on virtual machines is automatically deactivated every hour. To verify the Hyper-V status of the machine, please perform the following steps:

  • Open Command Prompt and run the command and send us a screenshot:

    systeminfo

  • Open PowerShell as Administrator and run the command and send us the result:

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V

If Hyper-V is detected on the machine, please consult your IT team to permanently disable Hyper-V on this specific machine.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fully Disable Hyper-V and the Windows Hypervisor

  1. Disable Hyper-V Feature

Open PowerShell as Administrator and run: 

Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All

  1. Disable Windows Hypervisor Platform + Virtual Machine Platform

These can also activate the hypervisor, even without Hyper-V.

Run this in the same PowerShell window:

Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName VirtualMachinePlatform Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName HypervisorPlatform

  1. Disable the Hypervisor from Boot

Even if the features are disabled, Windows may still boot with the hypervisor. This final step ensures it won't:

Run this command in an elevated Command Prompt (not PowerShell):

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

  1. Reboot

You must reboot your PC for changes to take effect.
