+### Delay in the activation of Enterprise license of Windows
 
 There might be a delay in the activation of the Enterprise license in Windows. This delay is by design. Windows uses a built-in cache when determining upgrade eligibility. This behavior includes processing responses that indicate that the device isn't eligible for an upgrade. It can take up to four days after a qualifying purchase before the upgrade eligibility is enabled and the cache expires.
