I believe that MS has been moving more and more to a digital fingerprinting method for activation rather than storing the license on the TPM module, as it was a method for people to get around activation with a local KMS server or something like that.Also, it shows the version as activated, but it has neither a digital license in the firmware nor a product key. Means it can't be activated. They sold me a pirated Windows 11 Pro.

I couldn't sleep because of the shame. So i have cleaned it up:Dude, the state of that mess . What is worse is the hole in the back of cabinet. You need to make friends with someone who has a drill with circular attachment.
I guess all those disks are running from a USB hub. Do you (or anyone) have thoughts on USB hubs? Do you just buy cheap ones and deal with failures/dropouts if they occur or do you spend money on a decent hub.It get's awfully stuffy in there with 1 laptop, 10x 16TB disks and all that other instrumentation.
Nope, it just uses two USB3 ports on my notebook/server:I guess all those disks are running from a USB hub. Do you (or anyone) have thoughts on USB hubs? Do you just buy cheap ones and deal with failures/dropouts if they occur or do you spend money on a decent hub.
