    Hello,

    Your question is a bit confusing.

    Windows license is not paid by month. Any chance you confused that with Microsoft 365 subscription, which is for Office apps, like Word, Excel, etc.

    Can you go to your Microsoft account in https://account.live.com, then go to Order History, you can change the time/date filter to show history further back, and see if you do have a Windows license purchase record, if so, feel free to share a screenshot.

    To obtain a new Windows activation key for Windows 10 after a clean reset, you typically have a few options:

    1. Check for a Firmware-Embedded Key: If your device has a firmware-embedded activation key, it may automatically activate Windows during installation. You can check for this key using PowerShell with the command:
         (Get-CimInstance -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey
      
      If a key is displayed, it can be used to activate Windows.
    2. Contact Microsoft Support: If you purchased Windows through the Microsoft Store, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance in retrieving your activation key. They may be able to provide you with a new key or help you with the activation process.
    3. Volume Licensing or Multiple Activation Key (MAK): If your Windows version is part of a volume licensing agreement, you may be able to request a new MAK key through your organization's Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).
    4. Retail Activation: If you purchased a retail version, you should have received a product key with your purchase. If you lost it, you can check your Microsoft account or email for the purchase confirmation that may contain the key.

    The speed of receiving a new activation key can vary depending on the method you choose. If you contact Microsoft support, they may provide immediate assistance, while other methods may take longer depending on the process involved.
