Hello! My problem is that every time I try to activate the license it says that it cannot be done because it cannot connect to the organization, it should be noted that I do not belong to any.

According to the 250 G9 specs, HP did not offer the Windows 11 Pro for Workstations operating system.
See page 3 for the Windows versions that HP offered in the model series:
Preinstalled with Windows 11 Pro, Window Home or FreeDOS
Download and install the free Showkey Plus app from the Microsoft Store.
ShowKeyPlus - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store
Run the app and if the notebook came with Windows from HP, there will be a Windows OEM product key and the version of Windows the key is good for.
There will also be an 'Installed product key.'
If the Installed key is different than the OEM key, change the installed key to the OEM key in the PC settings menu and see if you can activate Windows that way.
If the report does not show a Windows OEM key and OEM version of Windows the key was good for, that means your notebook originally came with Free DOS and you will need to purchase a valid Windows11 license and product key.
Below is a print of the Showkey plus report for my PC which originally came with Windows 8.1 from Dell:
