#### I activated ESU with the TSforge, but the Windows Update page in Settings still saying "Your device is no longer receiving security updates." Why?
Microsoft provides Extended Security Updates (ESU) through several channels, such as CommercialAzureESU, CommercialW365ESU, **CommercialKeybasedESU**, and **ConsumerESU**.
TSforge activates the [Commercial Key-based ESU](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/enable-extended-security-updates#get-the-product-keys-for-activating-extended-security-update-esu-licenses), which is intended for use by administrators in business environments.

#### What does it mean when the script says, "Windows Update can receive 1-3 years of ESU. 4-6 years ESU is not officially supported, but it might be useful"?
Microsoft officially announced that Extended Security Updates (ESU) would be available for only 3 years. However, ESU licenses actually exist for up to 6 years.
