You need to install the same backed up products as the backup, in this case, is the Office 2013 and the Windows 8 (Must be the same edition also). Your HDD change really was impacted on the hardware ID, here's the reason of the fail. I really can't understand what you do mean to 'drunk restore button', I would like to see it with my eyes...
Je viens de refaire un backup pour vous montrer ce que je veux dire par griser, entourer en rouge sur le screenshot bien sur cette fois je prends en exemple le bouton delete Ps désolée le traducteur traduit mal certains mots View attachment 19454 I have a backup again to show you what I mean drunk, surrounded in red on the screenshot of course this time I take as an example the delete button Ps sorry the translator translates badly some words
It isn't abnormal, simply the delete backup button is disabled because it haven't found any backup stored on the root of the executable to delete it. This same button only is enabled when the application have found any backup folder, as 'Windows Activation Backup', 'Office Activation Backup' or 'Activation Backup'...
HA ok cela n'a pas marché soit du fait que mon backup venez d'un HDD USB est aussi du fait que j'avais renommé le répertoire "Activation Backup" en " Activation Backup W8 est OFF 15 activer avec ATM 3.5 rc2". Je vous remercie pour votre aide, même si on a du mal à se comprendre lol HA ok that did not work either because I come from a backup USB HDD is also the fact that I renamed the folder "Activation Backup" in "Activation Backup W8 15 OFF switch with ATM 3.5 rc2". Thank you for your help, even if it's hard to understand lol
Ok merci pour ce petit tuto est la vidéo. Merci encore mon ami. Ok thank you for this little tutorial is video. Thank you again my friend.
I've detected one slight bug, that the application is able to restore Windows 8 Pro with Media Center activation in Windows 8 Pro system. It isn't really a problem if you've installed the correct edition, but can brick your act. system when you're restoring backups in wrong editions. Don't worry, it will be added to known bugs to the next release.
IF I buy a new computer (new Motherboard, CPU, Hard Drive, graphics card etc etc...) and need to Install office 2013 - As this is a "Major" hardware upgrade - I'm assuming the Advance Tokens Manager won't work in this case....I will need to activate this over the phone? Does that mean my "Confirmation ID" that the software generates in Office 2013 will be different (assuming i still use my retail key)?
Of course, you can restore activation only on same hardware, same confirmation ID. ATM isn't an activator, it's a previously activated restoration solution. In your case, this ID will be completely different
Confirmation ID must be system generated based on serial & hardware configuration. new hardware, I may have issues. I see how I go
Confirmation ID always is changed every install, you never will done backing-up it for try to input on a next install, for Windows and Office..
Just a few questions: 1. Not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but my system is Windows 7, so I can restore my backup activation of Office 2013 in Windows 8 (after upgrading, of course lol)? 2. If, for example, I have problems with my hard drive and i have to replace it, the backup of my activations (office 2013 & windows 8) will still work in another hd? Thanks in advance! =)
Both questions is no. Windows 7 Office Activation Backup isn't really as Windows 8. And you can't reactivate the system changing your HDD, because it is considered a major hardware change.
I have read somewhere that max 3 major changes are allowed to keep activation going... so changing only hd should not cause problem... don't know if I am right
At least one major change can deactivate the system. Some people said that changing the hard disk, the OS is still activated, but it depends of your activation channel and how hard is the change.
Thanks for the quick reply and information, Josh =] You left me in doubt hehe So I guess I'll have to try it myself then. ^^
No problem dude, I was joking But I'll try to restore a backup to another HD. After all, it costs nothing to try
Please remember to install the same version and edition of the operating system... You can switch from x86 to x64 and vice-versa.
