@urie I meant what files & How to back up after activation with retail key. In case of re-installing, I only restore those files and activate Offline with retail key. Just because the retail key limits the amount of activation .
@ PAYMYRENT I've already backed up 2 files " pkeyconfig.xrm-ms & token.dat " in Windows 7 with retail key manually. I'd like to put all them in ISO before burning DVD in order that It can automatically install 2 Back-up pkeyconfig.xrm-ms & token.dat and activate off-line with same retail key as I re-install Windows 7 sometime. Any chances that I can have that program, PAYMYRENT ? Can you do me a favor by making a program like that if you have time ? Thanks alot in advance.
use the mak version, the reason you get the killer bees I believe is because you have a mak key. Do you still have your key written down anywhere? If so you are in luck, just run the backup and keep it and your key in a safe place. If you ever need to restore then just use the backup and reenter your key. Failing that, if you don't have the key you should immediately make a complete backup image, when you make a backup image it will also save your activation status. I use Macrium reflect for imaging my drive, and I use PMR's token restore only if doing a fresh install on the same hardware.
i even have a fix for the MAK keys version thats why its been so long since an update. it might be harder to restore but i can backup a MAK key
Guys I got the Samsung N150 which came with Windows 7 Starter Edition, but unfortunately this is very slow out of the box as Samsung has loaded it up with Mcafee and other bloatware! I want to be able to backup my license key, then re-install Windows 7 Starter from a DVD that I have and then restore the license key. Will this application work? I did a clean install and tried to use the Product Key underneath the Netbook but it didnt work! I also got the activation code using a software, and entering that into my clean Windows 7 didnt work either! If this application wont do it, is there any other way I can do achieve this? Thanks in advance.
