[Need Help]Windows 8 Pro with WMC

always best to do it the way that you prefer.... no wrong way just personal choice.

 

Can a free WMC key that's been activated with a genuine activated windows 8 pro be used on another pc, I wonder if I can use only the free WMC key I Know the windows 8 Key is tied to the system ,also my friend still as some free WMC keys can they also be activated on a system already running win8+WMC if so How

Can some kind soul provide me with just one WMC code before it ends? I waited for the code from Microsoft that seems forever...

 

Check your pm

 

I activated via KMS then I tried the key i had in an email for the WMC but it said key was in use and activation failed. What did I do wrong? I am wondering if my key was used before or something. Does anyone have a spare?.. Also now that its asking for a new key or to enter a key can I just paste in the new WMC key or can I just do slmgr -ipk WMC key and slmgr -ato ?

you PM works great. thx

 

Doesn't the tokens.dat in the .wim need to be replaced too?

 

you can but its not necessary, as its just the data.dat file that causes some issues, the tokens/dat is copied during the completesetup script...

 

I was thinking you could avoid trying to restore via SetupComplete.cmd if all your activation files were already in the wim. No?

Sorry one more question at below code.

Code:

REM delete data.dat and Tokens.dat files within "mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\" and copy your own Data.dat & Tokens.dat(Your backup up files!)

Maybe i miss something, but when I type "as-is" on cmd

and I look inside mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\, i still see those to files. I had to manually delete it. No big deal but wondering what that code suppose to do... Could I skip that code and just go into mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\ and delete it manually?

Thanks NICK@NUMBER11.... I made WMC backup in dvd for myself and sibling and all works great. I even add key to office 2013 <PIDKEY Value="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" /> in /proplus.www/config.xml
Now i don't need to remember key

 

Sorry yes manual delete - however i think this code will work, if you want to add it in...

Code:

del /s /f /q c:\wmc\moumt\Windows\system32\spp\store\*.dat
del /ah /s /f /q c:\wmc\mount\Windows\system32\spp\store\*.dat
COPY /y c:\wmc\data.dat c:\wmc\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\data.dat
COPY /Y c:\wmc\tokens.dat c:\wmc\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat

And well done on your project!

whats the need of /set-productkey when your activation is based on tokens?

 

Required, as without windows will report not activated
