I had the same problem. I ended up having to call the automated activation line, which gave me a new code that finally worked.

Yeah, that phone line can be a pain. Did you make sure your Microsoft account is linked to your digital license in Settings > Accounts?

Yeah, Agreed, linking the account is the key step. One extra tip: if it's still stuck, try running the Activation troubleshooter again right after linking—sometimes it needs that second nudge.

Also, double-check that you're signed into the Microsoft account that has your digital license linked to it.
