Please use slmgr.vbs /ato to activate and update KMS client information in order to update values.
You are using a Volume License KMS license. KMS Licenses often require that you reactivate every 180 days by reconnecting to the KMS on which it was activated.
I suggest you contact your Network Administrator for assistance or whoever distributed this volume license to you.
