Microsoft Activation Offline - Not for you guys in secure locations anymore!
With the removal of local account setup for Windows Installer from Win 11 25H2 those of us who work in locations that do not permit connection of device to the "outside world" for security reasons (or just because we don't like the "outside world") are now also unable to activate Windows offline using telephone activation.
That's also no longer available for Office 2024.
With both you can still generate an activation challenge code from your machine, but it seems Microsoft's activation support team can't process it .
If there's anyone around who has a direct line to Redmond? Can they confirm? Otherwise it looks like this is going to be an issue for the "one or two" (I can't confirm numbers for ... well ... reasons ...) secure locations around the world that need to be air-gapped (and not just those locations that are used for <Redacted>).

I would think volume licensing would be the only way to go.

Maybe hold out for Extended Security Updates (ESU) for Windows 10 machines?
Some Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to 11 seeing "Enrol" button and able to add ESU for Year One at no cost...

UBUNTU 20.04 TERMINAL COMMANDS USEFULL FOR OPEN5GS
Linux ubuntu commands are a type of Unix command or shell procedure. They are the basic tools used to interact with Linux Open5gs platform on an individual test level. These are used to perform a variety of tasks, including displaying information about ip route files and network status of VM‘s.Example of most usefull commands are as follow;
‘sudo ip ro add default via {gateway_ipv4_address} dev {network_interface_name}’
sudo ip ro add 192.168.111 via 127.0.5
‘ip route show’ Command
Sample session:
default via 172.26.0.1 dev ens5 proto dhcp src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
10.147.164.0/24 dev incusbr0 proto kernel scope link src 10.147.164.1
172.26.0.0/20 dev ens5 proto kernel scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100

172.26.0.2 dev ens5 proto dhcp scope link src 172.26.7.237 metric 100
For External Test Node route Table
‘ip r’ Command
For adding node to list
‘Route –n ‘ Command
For test Statıstıcs
‘mtr -a 192.168.1.66 8.8.8.8’ Command as follows
