   - *2026-06-25 live re-check: the 6PM cron `ad0a56a9` never completed — all 5 still `EditionID=Core`

-    Next step for these 5 = domain-join once they read `EditionID=Professional`. ProductName reads

+  - **DONE 2026-06-25 (~8:45 PM, remotely via RMM, no users logged in):** the 3 online Home boxes
+    upgraded Home->Pro. Process: `changepk.exe /productkey <generic Pro key>` flips Core->Professional
+    (as SYSTEM it does NOT auto-reboot; registry vs licensing go out of sync — **reboot once to finalize**),
+    then activate. Results:
+    - **MDIRECTOR-PC** -> Professional, **self-activated FREE via a built-in Pro digital entitlement**
+      (no MAK used, no charge). READY to domain-join.
+    - **MEMRECEPT-PC** + **LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI** -> activated with the ACG MAK
+      (`infrastructure/windows-pro-mak`). NOTE: the MAK is a **Pro for Workstations** MAK — `/ipk` retargets
+      the edition to `ProfessionalWorkstation` (higher SKU, fine for domain join), `/dli` = Licensed,
+      VOLUME_MAK channel. **2 MAK counts consumed -> bill 2x $99 = $198 to Cascades** (line items name each
+      machine). MEMRECEPT needed an `/ato` retry (first attempt hit transient `0x8004FE92`).
+    - **Still pending:** NurseAssist (OFFLINE — and flagged as a possible dupe of `Assistnurse-pc`, verify
+      before upgrading) and SALES4-PC (bypassed — Tamra departing, repurpose TBD).
+    - Next step for the 3 upgraded boxes = **domain-join** (they now read `EditionID=Professional`/PfW).
 - **OneDrive KFM ON** (unlink before folder-redirect GPO): LAPTOP-8P7HDSEI, NurseAssist.
 - **Pending reboots + KFM unlinks: held for onsite** (Howard) — disruptive to clear remotely.
 - **LAPTOP-DRQ5L558** is off the Cascades network (8.8.8.8/1.1.1.1 DNS, no DC reachability) —
