    I have installed Windows 8 RTm x64. Then used MAK key to activate over phone. Also recd a WMC key in my inbox. Now before installing WMC key, I would like to know the Backup steps. Do I need to take a backup before installing WMC key or will I have to take a backup after installing WMC key. Also what will be the restore procedure? After reinstalling a fresh copy on same machine, or after installing a fresh copy on same machine + WMC & then restore? Please help.

    Just intstalled/activated Win7 Enterprise (MAK) and then a Office 2013 Pro (MAK), both as a completely clean install. Yet, the office backup seems to pick up only the trial key for office. It is clearly not the one I used for the MAK activation. What may be the issue?

    If you've activated your Office with the MAK, the MAK will be requested during the backup. Please send more screens about that.

    I was wondering did you remove the Trial Key - if not it will still show even when Activated with GVLK or MAK...
    /dstatusall will show it... anyway it did no mine....

    The backup module only will ask and save permanent activated keys. So isn't necessary touch on the current activation to make the backup.

    Trial keys don't matter any difference if you're restoring.

    Sorry, I could backup the licence, so all is good. Yes, the program did ask for the Office MAK key, the same way as it did for the Win 7 Enterprise licence - also activated with a MAK key - backup.

    Thanks for this great app!

    No, no, it was just to show the folder structure =)
    I hope you can simplify in just one application. This would facilitate a lot, especially in an AiO. :worthy:

    Ok. I'm looking on this application now, and I'll drastically reduce the product finding module on the RC 3 using a new method with other registry entries instead of the lookup via WMI.

    Also the edition problem will be solved and is it.. :)

    My tests was ok, but I'd have to send the pre-release to my team and see the results.

    A new memory management including new integrity checks and a new control flow and anti-code reversing is going on.

    I've received one report of crash when the application closes. Probably because the memory thread still running. So I'd have to close it before kill the process, and I'm testing it to look if it happens again.

    You need to install the ProWMC or install and convert your PRO without internet connection (For not activate online again). Then restore with the app.
