I've got a MacBook Air 2018 that was activation locked.
I've used an online service to bypass the activation and was able to sign in to iCloud. If you power off the MacBook and restart, it will be activation locked again.
However, I've just upgraded it from Ventura to Sonoma and after completion, the activation screen came up.
To my surprise, this prompts for my Apple email ID and password.
Once entered, the MacBook is fully activated and powering off and on works absolutely fine.
Can someone else try this to see if it works for them too please?
