windows 8.1 activation help

Advanced Tokens Manager isn't updated yet for Windows 8.1!

We have to wait!

 

Only way is activating on known methods, but without WMC.

 

Phone activation works in some extend!

 

Nope,It won't work

 

Definitly a NO so far.

 

I have an idea...

 

Well, you're certainly a sekreet, but that was not the idea I had in mind.

 

The only way is to activated is here:

From within Windows 8.1

Created a new folder

c:\wmc
within this folder i created a further folder called "MOUNT"
copied the install.wim file into the c:\wmc folder

I then mounted the original windows 8.1 iso

To f: (virtual dvd drive)

Then i Opened a command prompt (admin)

copied and paste this command to mount the image:

DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:c:\WMC\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\WMC\mount

Copied and paste this command to enable netframework 3.5:

Dism /image:c:\wmc\mount /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /Source:f:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Copied and paste this command to enable Windows Media Centre:

Dism /Image:c:\wmc\mount /Get-TargetEditions
Dism /Image:c:\wmc\mount /Set-EditionrofessionalWMC

Manually copied my tokens.dat & data.dat files to: (I copy both tokens.dat and data.dat from my activated copy of windows 8 pro rtm with technet key & free media center key last year)

c:\WMC\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0

copy and paste this command to injecy my Free WMC key:

Dism /image:c:\wmc\mount /set-productkey:*****-*****-*****-*****-*****

nb *** replace with your key.

Copy and Paste this command to commit the changes made:

Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\wmc\mount /commit

imagex.exe /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info c:\WMC\install.wim 1 "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center"

Open up windows 8.1 pro with media center iso with ultral iso and go to sources and copy or drag the file "EI.CFG" (you will find it
from windows 7 on my digital life forum) and save it. Burn ISO to USB stick (you need at least 4GB) I use 8GB stick.

Finally, (make sure u disconnection everything wifi, ethernet as u don't need it until installed is completed.

installing windows 8 on your pc, choose windows 8.1 pro with media center and click next to accept agreement terms,
it will continue installing on your pc and windows will be let's start to desktop. Check system information. It activated!
It won't ask you for any product key. You now have a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 pro with media center on your pc that it already activated.
No need to phone Microsoft or online to activated. It including working Net Framework 3.5 as well.

Enjoy it.

For EI.CFG (open up with notepad and make sure it had the correct line below or otherwise it won't work):
