This method uses a shared data.dat. Unique activation related files such as serials or activation data are not allowed to share. data.dat that contains generic default keys are allowed to share, though.
using the method posted by clockmaker i get the error running on a computer that is a microsoft windows non core edition any ideas?
So I have activated with the Media Center key. Now how do I manually back up my activation? Is it the same as Windows 8?
yes i followed his post exactly and put in my free wmc key but as i click on the last option where you activate the error i get is about it being a non core edition
Dear Yen, I have tried phone activation through skype. After pressing "one" the automated message says "No key pressed". Tried both on keyboard and on screen provided by skype and windows. Any Help??? Thanks in advance Regards Manu
I don't know... I had W8.1 Pro x64 activated by phone but when I upgraded to Pro WMC it got blacklisted! Now I don't know where I can find that file?
But you said you are activated. Just select country and dial number. You have to choose the toll free number. My Case even if i press "1" for home user it is not accepting. Tried in 3 different computer. No body is bothered to answer my question or give any ideas. Okay guys you enjoy Manu
excuse me, but i suppose you guys have already activated your 8.1s that way.. i mean adding media center features and stuff. but i cant figure out where to get that data.dat file. am i missing something? is there a link that i cant see or will i get that file automatically after adding media center?
