Visibility of Windows Activation Status

Could AI add visibility into the Windows activation status of all managed devices. This would help ensure compliance with Microsoft licensing, reduce manual checks, and support proactive remediation. Key data points could include activation status, method, license key type, and last activation attempt. This would be especially useful in large or hybrid environments where activation issues can go unnoticed.

Some metrics could include:

Activation Status: Activated / Not Activated / Grace Period / Notification Mode.
Activation Method: KMS / MAK / Digital License / OEM.
License Key Type
: Retail / Volume / OEM.
Product Key Channel
: Useful for identifying mismatches or incorrect deployments.
Last Activation Attempt Date
: Helps identify stale or offline devices.
Error Codes or Messages
: If possible, to assist with troubleshooting.
