Your license status gets the 'OOBGrace' state, it's really not activated. This application only is able to backup the licenses with Licensed status that remains the return code to 1 instead of 2. Your Windows is activated anyway?
I'm fixing some internal modules to release. After all the coding on the week, left up the bugs to fix. Isn't hard, but is boring for me.
Not act. Initial grace period. I think ATM can activate, but something was missing. ATM makes .bak file but not change the original. Something like that I mean. ATM stuck there.
A Real Epic work man! The program is damn fast and the UI is also easy to learn as well as clutter free. I've used it for over 7 times and it works flawlessly!
Maybe a noob question ? Before I made a backup ,Iinstalled my drivers and run some windows updates (as written somewhere in this thread). Now my question Is :when i want to restore my activation on a fresh instal (let's say In May 2013),are the windows updates also affected to restore your activation ? What I mean is, now I have a backup with my drivers and let's say 4 windows updates, when i want to restore I install my drivers and do windows update , but In the meanwhile there are maybe 20 updates instead of 4. Does this affect the restore activation ? Or is it better to do only the drivers (check device manager) and make a backup (without the windows Updates). Thaks in advance
You can't make an backup of unactivated Windows copy, here's the protection against problems on the restore. Thanks for your feedback. It won't affect the Windows Updates, and you can make an backup with all updates and restore without neither. About the drivers, is advised preserve the same state from the backup on the restore, in other words, you need to reinstall the same drivers from the backup for not have problems when install it again. @MDL I'm testing and killing all bugs on real machines here, it can take a long time, but I'm doing it ASAP.
Now I get the clue, the drivers can change (How windows see, for example únknown device) the hardware and can be a risk for restore your backup. And the windows updates only updates so that is no risk for restore activation, that's why it is important to install the drivers before you make and restore your backup. Thanks it is clear now for me

All tests are having success, it's good and is a sign that the version is ready to be released. I'll have to do one last revision, I'm thinking in add an splash screen because too many activations query that can increase the startup time.
Remembering that this version only will supports Permanent activations. KMS and Limited activations won't be allowed! If you've the Windows 8 with Office 2013 KMS Activated it will be supported because is an embedded activation, otherwise you can't do it.
