    Will do, still trying to download 8.1.. mega keeps timing out, and torrent is really slow.. but as soon as I've got it up and running, will post the data.dat file :) just one question.. where is the data.dat file? I assume it's where the token file is?

    No one is going to give you a retail ProWMC key for a Office 2013 GVLK key... Retail keys cost money and GVLK keys are publicly available.

    I realise we can't activate without valid keys at the moment but is there any way to suppress the 'Activate your PC' go to PC settings full screen takeover that happens once every few hours?

    Hi, so I had activated win8 with a mak key originally through the phone activation and upgraded to win8.1 preview when it was released and had no issues keeping my current activation. If I upgrade to the rtm am I going to lose my current activation?

    Try this:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation]
    "ActivationInterval"=dword:000dbba0
    "Manual"=dword:00000001
    "NotificationDisabled"=dword:00000001


    OR

    Try this:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation]
    "ActivationInterval"=-
    "Manual"=dword:00000001
    "NotificationDisabled"=dword:00000001

    Come on guys...no one installed clean Windows 8.1 x64 RTM and activated it using a retail key ? It's not too hard to share data.dat so everyone can activate via phone using Windows Media Center keys...
