Assuming the original enterprise owner reset the device using their enterprise OS I don't think there's a way around that unless you acquire your own enterprise key.
Assuming you are not an enterprise and you want to use this for personal use. I think the way forward is to download the Surface Recovery Image and reload the factory OS which should activate with the inbuilt key. As far as I know there's no way to remove the original key but it wouldn't work for an enterprise OS.

I did that before. I already reset the it to downloaded the Surface Recovery Image and reload the factory OS which should activate with the inbuilt key , but it didn't make any sense and I had the same problem

I believe this unit is still registered by serial number to the organization. As far as I know, the only way around that is to get them to remove it i.e. deregister the serial number. Otherwise, return the device to wherever you bought it for a full refund. Unfortunately, this seems to happen quite a bit with these "Managed Devices" Microsoft should come up with a better way.
If your used Surface Studio came with Windows 11 Enterprise and it’s not activating, it may be due to an invalid organizational license. You can either install Windows 11 Pro or get a valid Enterprise key. Some users get their keys for 13 dollars from sites like Noxkeys.
