Hi @Will V, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

For VS2022, please remove the following registry key to remove product key (Before you delete it, I suggest you first export the registry key, so you'll have a backup if you accidentally delete the wrong key.):

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses\1299B4B9-DFCC-476D-98F0-F65A2B46C96D 

The following table lists the Microsoft Product Code (MPC) for Visual Studio 2022:

Then, re-launch the VS2022 and enter the correct key. 

Sincerely,

Anna
