These machine comes with a default windows 11/10 but there is a software that comes with it, that you can see it under START UP services. I forgot the name but please make sure you reinstall windows.

I'm guessing you tried installing from the media without doing the initial startup online, didn't you?
if you buy branded model, the key is already embedded in your pc firmware. this is hardware coded, you do not need "online" microsoft gimmick.
Notes:
I remember bought one (not beelink), the key is not in firmware/hardware (BIOS in plain english). flashing to linux and try to reinstall back windows, and oops.. ( I forgot backing up the OS). the reason? mini-pc was throttling bad due lack of heat dissipation, and returned to Amazon. in the end: I use 2-3 prior gen of Intel mini-pc used from lenovo (ebay source). running 24/7 and no heat issue.
good luck!
But of course you can just reset it through the settings app and not have Windows lose any licensing info. A Chinese mini PC manufacturer is just not going to invest the effort in putting in kernel-level backdoors in the default Windows 11 installation. The risk/reward does not make sense.
the question is, do they want to spend extra $$$ for that as wellknow brands : Lenovo/HP/Dell/...
unless, you run windows and register online: your account and your pc/machine unique identifier will be saved in microsoft
N100 is better in every way.

Someone wrote BIOS includes license. I had to reinstall Windows 11 on my S12 Pro unit. Windows required license key. I sent a proof (serial #, etc) to Beelink support and they sent me a key. Again, I bought a version with Windows 11 included. But this one does not say anything about the license.
