    This was the problem, but now I've have a backup of the activation :)

    View attachment 18669

    Inserted the used key from the activation and successfully done the job.

    Before all this things, I started the app and the key was like many BBB...very strange...

    Isn't really strange, you need to enter the product key when it hasn't been decoded from the registry..

    MAK Keys are the most of affected by 'BBBBB' because it's hidden from the registry.

    Windows 8 And Office 2013

    How can I take backup of Windows 8 Enterprise x64/x86 and Office 2013 Professional Plus x64/x86 ?

    With this version, you can install the Windows 8 Enterprise and the Office 2010.

    Then install the product key from the office with ospp.vbs and you're activated..

    This way is possible because the Windows 8 and Office 2013 activation is merged into one, it can be natively done with the next version that will make the support for this office version.

    You mean to say, the current BETA release of ATM will work with Windows 8 Enterprise only, and the final release will definitely work with Windows 8 & Office 2013. Nevertheless with this BETA release, because of the Windows 8 and Office 2013 activation is merged into one, it's not necessary to take backup of both separately. Just I would have to restore activation of Windows 8 first, and thereafter, in order to restore Office 2013 activation just need to install the product key with ospp.vbs /inpkey:pIDKEY.

    Yes. Please see that you must have the Office 2013 installed before the restore.

    I screwed up and install win 8 pro 32 and not win 8 pro 64. Windows only sees 2.24 gb ram instead of 8. If I use your program in the 32 bit windows will it restore it in the 64 bit windows?
    Thanks

    Yes. You can flow the editions without any problem. Just preserve your current backup in a safe place, you only need to restore it after the installation.

    Great tool !

    When the new version with Office 2013 activation support will release ?

    Soon ?


    I have a question, I enter Media Center key after I activate my Windows 8, now I have new product key for my windows. I do activation backup after.

    If I reinstall my pc, I must install Media Center with new key, before restore activation ?

    The product key must be the same when I restore ?

    Thanks for guide, but when I reinstall fresh win8 install, I need to reinstall all my drivers before restore activation ?

    I don't understand why the drivers are important with the activation.

    Because I prefer to restore and take my time to reinstall all my drivers after.

    You can lost the activation or take a fail when the restore. Windows 8 Systems are hardware sensitive, and you'd have the sure that the same drivers of the backup are installed before the restore.

    Okay! One more thing, what do you think about if I have taken backup of my installation id and confirmation id of both the PIDKEY, that I used during Windows 8 and Office 2013 activation? Shall it work later?
