It's 100% if you use Take Ownership and Merge the Store/Tokens folders. It's not 100% if you delete the already-existing folders from ssp and then copy/paste the new ones, as that method gets rid of some Enterprise files, whereas merging keeps the old ones and adds new ones. If you delete and replace the Store and Tokens folders you end up with Win8 starter. I've tested the method posted on 5 different computers, all using the untouched ISO, and it works perfectly on them all. And 3 of my personal friends have tried it and say the same It's just, you need to follow the tutorial EXACTLY, and you can't skip steps no matter how unimportant they may seem.
with all the win8 talk, i might just install the build as my main OS, cause i'm bored lol. now what is the best way to get rid of the activation without touching any files in the OS? and i read on here that you can install Ie9 final also
Yeah, true. I may end up making a batch script or something in a few days which does everything for them Apart from there's one part where you need to go into safe mode so I'll put "Please run Activator2.bat from Safe Mode!" or something xD
Just copy %OEM% folder in source folder DVD, Make ISO, install, use minikms: activating OK Thnaks for the %OEM% folder alphawaves.
i delete the iso after burning it to dvd u kno any other way of copying the files from dvd an rebuild the iso instead downloading it all ova again
here what i did i use the ultra iso i pop in the dvd scroll to dvd drive drag the files towards top side den i input the oem folder in the source folder so right now the iso rebuilding for it self all though i use my common sense for this hope i did good on it
Tried out Activator. Removed the timebomb but didnt activate after trying coupla times. So activated with minikms. Nice tool.
I did the same patched in Safe Mode, Activated it on normal mode and no activation being shown, not in Computer Properties and in cmd - slmgr.vbs -dlv shows Trial period
Um, I removed the timebomb, & while it says it's disarmed, I'm not allowed to Activate. The status is Unknown. I had used WOAT before, but nowadays I'm getting an Activate Windows window, so obviously something's up... Please help! Thanks, M260 EDIT: Oh, yeah, & you know how WOAT requires you to set the BIOS date back to September 23rd, 2010 or something? I had done that when I used WOAT, but afterwards I set it back to the present. This was before I used your activator. EDIT 2: nvm, it seems I had to NOT do what BetaArchive told me to do, & actually have the BIOS date in the present in the 1st place.
