    It didn't work for me. Although everything said it was successful, windows wouldn't activate. Checks showed that i was on "initial grace period" and that my MAK had reached it's activation limit.

    Yes. Key verified as correct also, as i've had it for awhile. Hardware didn't change except for keyboard, though i do have a flexraid install that might be messing with this. Flexraid had issues right before i backed up the activation. I wasn't able to backup the flexraid config at the time. I'm fairly certain of the proper settings, but i do not know what effect it will have on the hardware hash.

    I really do not want to call MS again :-(

    Shall Office 2010 32bit activation to be restored on Windows 7 SP1 64bit, if I had taken backup on Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 32bit?

    Sometimes I want to restore Office activation on Windows 7 SP1 Profession/Enterprise 64bit, while I had taken backup on Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 32bit?

    Adding support for Windows 8 will be excellent solution for my problem.

    I have installed Windows 8 RC (build 8400) on my pc with classic shell (to get start menu).
    But now rumors says that the start menu is fully removed from windows 8 rtm code - which means can not be enabled with programs like Classic Shell, Start8 and ViStart. For that reason I've to stay on this build.

    Windows 8 Release Preview (8400) can be activated till January 2013 and will expire then, but there are methods to disarm the timebomb.
    Now if you can, please add support for Windows 8 RP to Advanced Tokens Manager now, how I would be able to backup my activation of Windows, which I will restore on next formating after January 2013 when support for this build will be terminated.

    ,thanks

    We can't restore the Windows 8 Evaluation Activation. The TimeBomb is embedded on the Windows, not on the activation.

    So bad :( what is different in this type of activation?
    I don't have much knowledge for this methods of restoring activation - but I must to tell - that is very useful.
    However I understand almost whole terminology what you use in this software developing, so I will follow the posts to understand the processes.

    Yeah, I've some difficulties with removing timebomb on RC, but before on Consumer Preview I've been fully successful in disarming timebomb.
    Maybe in this constellation the Timebomb was on activation. Now I don't know what they have changed in windows activation technology between this two releases.

    Windows 8 Release Preview is activated on the installation.

    The Time Bomb module is the responsible for disable the OS normal function when is the time.

    If you try restore the activation, the Time Bomb will flawless work also.

    Some improvements of v3.4 version:

    * "METRO-UI" based interface;
    * [ In progress] - Windows 8 Activation backup / restore;
    * PHONE-ACTIVATION Support.

    PS: Trying to skip the Office 2010 activation backup...
