    Hello,

    For Windows activation, you need to ensure that the following are accessible:

    TCP Port 80: Used for HTTP requests.

    TCP Port 443: Used for HTTPS requests.

    UDP Port 67/68: These are used for DHCP, but they are more related to IP configuration rather than activation directly.

    TCP Port 1688: This is sometimes used for activation over HTTP.

    Additionally, you should allow access to the following domains and URLs to ensure activation services work correctly:

    microsoft.com

    go.microsoft.com

    sls.microsoft.com

    activation.sls.microsoft.com

    crl.microsoft.com

    Best Regards,

    Hania Lian

    TCP port 80 – The default port for HTTP.

    TCP port 443 – This is the default port for HTTPS.

    UDP port 3478 – One of the default ports for UDP.
