Back in January my Intel MacBook corrupted on me. So not thinking anything about it I formatted the drive and started recovery. NOTHING I did would make this Mac reactivate. I tried Apple Configurator connected to my other Mac -- no dice. Internet recovery, same thing.

Well I figured since Sonoma was released perhaps they made some improvements to Internet recovery and low and behold -- the very first tie I tried recovery it activated the map and installed the OS without any issue.

If you have a similar issue with a Mac, retry Internet recovery.
