    Yep, this will only deactivate WMC not deinstall it, tested some days ago and it works with no harm to activation status :D.
    Btw, i use it as my TV-Soft due to it´s much better then the original software of my AverTV-Stick.

    No Uninstallation, you could disable the service for WMC and WMP! That should do the job you need. Uninstallation will result in deleting of your activation!

    What is the difference of the data.dat file between download link and direct copy from an activated Win8Pro with WMC? Are these two files same?

    Thanks!

    This method works great on a VirtualBox.
    Will it work also in a real PC instalation?

    Does anyone knows how many times can I use the same M$ (sent by mail) license key?

    So I can take the data.dat from a VirtualBox and use this .dat for doing this method in other PCs?

    On same machine unlimitted online activation, when major hardware changes were done, probably telephone method will work though. Afaik it´s even possible to move to another machine. But allways only one machine per key and they have to be activated before 31. jan. 2013.

    And works on physical machine too     :biggrin:
