@W8MNT Thanks mate, I changed most of these changes but forgot to change token folders, now have to do it all over again. Thanks again. Just to confirmed, I activated my Win 8 Pro first with KMS and then fully activated with a WMC key and now it's fully activated, so these activated tokens will work for this method too, right?
Hi MSMG: I done your recommendations and they worked great...I have my PC with Windows 8.1 with Media Center and I have the ISO file into of USB Memory...No problem with Activation...Thanks for your help
From the OP; Code: Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c:\win81\wim\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c:\win81\iso\sources\install.wim /compress:maximum

So for the product key part, if I have a retail key I bought from "Add features to features Windows 8.1" that is what I would replace the Xs with? Right?
sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, i did try to search for it but ddnt quite understand some of the stuff i found I have a bunch of machines, all with win8 with wmc. can i, upgrade one of them, use its tokens.dat and data.dat to create a disk, not put in the key and then use the disk to fresh install all the machines, and then on each machine insert only its wmc key and phone activate? or do i have to upgrade all of them and get tokens.dat and data.dat from all of them? if it is the latter, can i just save all their tokens.dat and data.dat and post installing from a disk, just swap those out without internet and then upk/ipk their keys in?
This method is to make a Retail Pre-Activated Windows 8.1 Pro + WMC ISO, so that you don't need to have to activate the os either by phone or any other method when you install the OS. In your case, first you need a copy of Windows 8.1 + WMC Retail Activated "data".dat" and "tokens.dat" files. then you need to make one iso with the above dat files and install the os on each of your system and activate each system with phone activation once. then make a backup copy of the activated "data.dat" and "tokens.dat" files of each systems with respective cd key. then every time when you need to install the os insert the new "data.dat", "tokens.dat" and the cdkey on each system it will be activated without any online/phone activation.
Hi MSMG: I followed your procedure with Windows 8.1 Pro WMC...and it's working great... Question... Can I use the same procedure (How to Make a Activated Windows 8.1 Pro WMC ISO With .Net 3.5 Framework Integrated) for with en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4065090.iso? Thanks TecMan
is en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4065090.iso OK to extract the image from, or I need one of the very first RTMs without the updates?
Thank you very-very much, that was the second time I had to recover my WMC activation and that was far from enough, I know everybody here knows what I mean
Why don't you backup the activation files and use my Main ToolKit to create a Pre-Activated ISO. you can find my Main ToolKit in my signature, it's ver 1.04 and the new version is yet to be released soon.
1st of all I used win 8.1 with update iso's, the MSDN copies. to make AIO. is it mandatory to add NETFX3 feature?? DISM /Image:C:\W8MNT /Enable-Feature /All /LimitAccess /FeatureName:NetFX3 /Source:C:\W8\sources\sxs I mean to say what will be if I dont run the above command will it affect in activation or any problem will I face?? Actualy I have made a win 8.1 AIO. The image 2 & 4 in the WIM file have WMC x86 & x64 accordingly. I want to mount each of those image index 2 & 4 and want to copy my data & token files. I came to know that those data and token files are general that is it is same for both x86 and x64. Please help cz I'm confused with the purpose of NETFX3. Thank you
Although .NET 3 is part of the install media it isn't activated, so if you try to start any program later that requires it Windows tries to download and install. For that reason it's the first i activate in the Win 8/8.1 WIMs. It's not mandatory and not activation related.
thanks for your reply. Ok one thing more. I am making the change in my AIO & it have both x86 & x64 version of WMC. So I think I have to get x86 version NETFX3 source(\sources\sxs\*.*) from x86 iso to add NetFx3 feature in x86 WMC. & x64 version NETFX3 source(\sources\sxs\*.*) from x64 iso to add NetFx3 feature in x64 WMC. Am I right?? Or I can add NETFX3 of a architecture in both x86 & x64 architecture of WMC???
