About this licence
Windows 11 Pro N: The Full-Featured Professional OS, Optimised for European Workstations
You need an operating system that delivers enterprise-grade security, seamless remote work capabilities, and robust device management—without unnecessary media bloat. Windows 11 Pro N is the dedicated European Economic Area edition, providing the complete Windows 11 Pro toolkit while complying with EU antitrust regulations by excluding Windows Media Player and related technologies. This is the identical professional operating system trusted by businesses across the continent, simply offered in a configuration that puts you in control of which media features to install.
This genuine Microsoft Windows 11 Pro N Retail license is designed for professionals, power users, and small-to-medium businesses who require advanced security like BitLocker device encryption, flexible management via Group Policy, and the ability to connect to corporate networks through Azure Active Directory. The one big benefit is uncompromising productivity and security in a clean, efficient package—you get every critical business feature of Windows 11 Pro, and you can choose to add the free Media Feature Pack from Microsoft if and when you need it. Your license is permanent, not a subscription, and is digitally delivered for immediate activation on your compatible PC.
Key features and benefits
Complete Professional Security Suite: Safeguard your sensitive data with BitLocker device encryption, which locks down your drives if your device is lost or stolen, and Windows Information Protection (WIP), which separates personal and corporate data to prevent accidental leaks.
Flexible Remote Work: Use Remote Desktop to connect securely to your office PC from virtually anywhere, enabling full access to your applications and files as if you were sitting at your desk.
Advanced Device Management: Configure user accounts, security policies, and software settings across multiple PCs using Group Policy, a critical tool for IT administrators managing a fleet of devices.
Enterprise-Grade Virtualisation: Run demanding software, test applications in isolated environments, or emulate other operating systems with Hyper-V, Microsoft's built-in hardware virtualisation platform.
Azure Active Directory Join: Seamlessly connect your workstation to your organisation's cloud identity service for single sign-on to Microsoft 365 and thousands of other SaaS applications.
Assigned Access and Kiosk Mode: Lock down a device to run only a specific line-of-business application or a web browser, perfect for frontline workers, customer-facing kiosks, or dedicated task stations.
Clean, Bloat-Free Installation: The N edition ships without Windows Media Player, Groove Music, Voice Recorder, and Skype pre-installed, giving you a leaner system image and the freedom to use your preferred third-party media tools.

What's included with your purchase
When you purchase Windows 11 Pro N from Lizensa, you receive a complete, activation-ready package delivered instantly to your email and customer account. The core of your purchase is a genuine, pre-generated Microsoft Retail license key. This is a full Retail license, not an OEM key tied to a single motherboard or a volume licensing MAK/KMS key intended for large organisations. A Retail license provides you with the most flexible usage rights: you can install it on one device at a time, and you are legally entitled to transfer the license to a new PC if your original device is decommissioned.
Your license is permanent and does not expire. There are no monthly or annual subscription fees. Alongside the 25-character product key, you receive a direct download link to the official Microsoft Windows 11 multi-edition ISO, ensuring you get an unmodified, secure installation file. We also provide a clear, step-by-step activation guide written in plain English, covering everything from creating a bootable USB drive to completing the online activation. The license supports all listed languages—English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish—allowing you to install the OS in your preferred language. This package is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures where supported by the edition, though a 64-bit installation is strongly recommended to meet modern security and performance standards.
Which Windows edition is right for you?
Choosing the correct Windows edition ensures you have the right tools without paying for features you don't need. Windows 11 Pro N sits in the middle of the product range, offering a significant step up from the Home edition for business and power users, while remaining more accessible than the specialised Enterprise and LTSC versions.
Windows 11 Home vs. Pro N: The Home edition is designed for general consumer use—web browsing, gaming, and media consumption. It lacks the core business features found in Pro N. If you need to join a corporate domain or Azure AD, encrypt your drives with BitLocker, connect via Remote Desktop, or manage settings with Group Policy, you must upgrade to Pro N. For any professional environment or serious home office, Pro N is the minimum recommended edition.
Windows 11 Pro N vs. Enterprise: Windows 11 Enterprise is a volume-licensed edition available only through Microsoft's Volume Licensing agreements. It includes all Pro N features plus additional capabilities aimed at large IT departments, such as AppLocker for advanced application control, DirectAccess for seamless corporate network connection, and advanced threat protection features through Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Enterprise is typically overkill for small businesses and individual professionals who are perfectly served by Pro N's management and security suite.
Windows 11 Pro N vs. LTSC: The Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) is a specialised edition for mission-critical systems like medical equipment or industrial controllers that require absolute stability and cannot tolerate frequent feature updates. LTSC strips out Microsoft Store apps and Cortana and receives only security updates for its lifecycle. It is unsuitable for general-purpose business desktops that need the latest productivity features and application compatibility. Pro N provides the ideal balance of regular feature updates and rock-solid reliability for standard professional workstations.
System requirements / compatibility
To ensure a smooth installation and reliable performance, your PC must meet the minimum hardware specifications for Windows 11. The provided system data indicates a minimum of 2 GB of RAM and 2 GB of available storage, but these are baseline survival figures. For a responsive, productive experience, we strongly recommend a PC that meets or exceeds Microsoft's official Windows 11 requirements: a 64-bit processor with at least 2 cores running at 1 GHz or faster, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage. Your device must also have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 and support Secure Boot, which are critical hardware security features enforced by Windows 11.
This license supports both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures where the product edition allows, but be aware that Microsoft has heavily optimised Windows 11 for 64-bit systems, and many modern applications require a 64-bit environment. An active internet connection is required for the initial activation of your license and for downloading updates. The product supports multiple display languages, including English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish, enabling you to work in your native language. As exact requirements can vary based on specific hardware configurations and future updates, we recommend validating your system against the official Microsoft Windows 11 specifications before purchasing.
Installation and activation
Your journey to a genuine Windows 11 Pro N desktop begins immediately after your payment is processed. Your license key and a comprehensive installation guide are delivered digitally to your email inbox and made available in your Lizensa customer account. Delivery is typically instantaneous, with an average arrival time of under 60 seconds. The guide provides a direct link to download the official Windows 11 installation media from Microsoft's servers, ensuring you receive a clean, untampered ISO file.
To activate, create a bootable USB drive using the downloaded ISO, boot your PC from it, and follow the on-screen setup prompts. When asked for a product key, enter the 25-character code provided in your delivery email. Windows will validate the key online and activate your permanent license. If you encounter any issues during activation, our free multilingual technical support team is ready to assist you. Because this is a Retail license, you have the flexibility to reinstall Windows 11 Pro N on the same device as many times as needed. If you decommission this PC, you can transfer the license to a new compatible device, making it a durable investment in your digital workspace.

FAQ — frequently asked questions
Is Windows 11 Pro N a subscription or a one-time purchase?
This is a one-time, permanent purchase. You pay once and receive a Retail license that does not expire and has no recurring fees. This is different from Microsoft 365 subscriptions, which are billed monthly or annually.
What is the difference between a Retail and an OEM license?
A Retail license, like this one, is transferable. If you buy a new PC, you can move your Windows 11 Pro N license from the old device to the new one. An OEM license is pre-installed by a manufacturer and is permanently tied to the first computer's motherboard, making it non-transferable.
How fast do I get my license key?
Your license key is delivered digitally and is typically available in your email inbox and Lizensa customer account in under 60 seconds after payment confirmation. There is no physical shipment.
Is this a genuine, legal Microsoft license?
Absolutely. Every license sold by Lizensa is a genuine Microsoft product sourced from authorised European distributors. You receive a unique product key and a VAT invoice, providing a full audit trail for your business.
What if I have trouble activating my license?
Our free multilingual technical support team is here to help. Simply contact us with your order details, and we will guide you through the activation process. In the rare event of a key issue, we will provide a replacement.
Can I reinstall Windows 11 Pro N or transfer the license to a new computer?
Yes, you can reinstall the software on the same PC unlimited times. As a Retail license, you can also transfer it to a new PC, provided you remove it from the original device. This flexibility is a key advantage of the Retail license type.
Does this license work in my country within the EU?
Yes, this Windows 11 Pro N license is valid for activation and use in all 27 member states of the European Union. It is the specific edition designed for the European Economic Area.
What payment methods does Lizensa accept?
We accept a wide range of secure payment methods through our Stripe-powered checkout, including SEPA direct debit, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards like Visa and Mastercard.
Do you provide a VAT invoice?
Yes, a valid VAT invoice is issued for every purchase and delivered with your license key. For B2B customers with a valid EU VAT ID, the reverse charge mechanism can be applied.
What is your refund policy?
You have a 14-day right of withdrawal, in accordance with EU consumer protection law. If you have not activated the license and wish to return it, we will issue a full refund.
Why is this called the "N" edition and what is missing?
The "N" designation indicates this edition complies with a European Commission ruling regarding media player software. It does not include Windows Media Player, Groove Music, Voice Recorder, or Skype pre-installed. All other professional features are identical to the standard Windows 11 Pro.
How do I get Windows Media Player if I need it?
Microsoft provides a free, official download called the "Media Feature Pack" for Windows 11 N editions. You can install it directly from Microsoft's website or through the Settings app under Optional Features. It adds the media player and related codecs without affecting your license validity.
