Windows 8.1 Pro WMC generic activation tokens creation

No. because store upgrade reserves activation status.
while standard upgrade will use the generic wmc 8.1 key which will void the procedure

 

@abbodi1406

1- Ok, So the only way a modified iso (ProWMC) will work for a clean install is to put the generic token and dat file in it, and then installing with the iso and activating with the WMC key on the same computer.

2- Is it possible to have the generic token and dat without having to go through the process explained in this thread.(just asking)

Thanks

 

For those interested,

I managed to make a clean install with a modified Windows 8.1 pro with WMC as described in Creating a Windows 8.1 AIO with Media Center manually thread.

I installed fresh, replaced the tokens with the generic tokens and inserted my WMC upgrade key obtained last year and the windows activated online.

The WMC key used was for the same computer.

For some reason my Ei.cfg file in the iso did not work so I had to enter a key to start the windows installation.

So I took a 8.1 generic key from the list of generic keys, the one finishing with J8D3P and it worked.

Special thanks for Kelorgo.

 

I cant get clean install 8.1 to activate with tokens

I had Win 8 Pro WMC activated with the free WMC key. I updated to 8.1 through the store and after it was done it was also activated. I then used the tokens and my WMC key in a clean 8.1 install (with vmware) but it says Error code: 0xC004C008 exceeded unlock limit. I havent used the key at all since activating WMC on Win8 a year ago.

I'm a bit worried it might be because I added an SSD to my PC and imaged my win8 install to it earlier this year. It didnt break activation at the time but is that why I cant use this key with a clean install now?

 

J 'have a Windows 8.1 WMC installed offline with the method given in July by MDL (dat.) activated by phone.

J 'have office 2013activate by phone

I made a backup with advanded tokens manager (Josch Cell).

I also have a Windows 8.1 WMC installed normally (upgrade via Windows store) not enabled.

I also have on this computer Office non-active 2013

I used the tool of Josh CELL and the first computer bakup.

Everything is ok. today also (enabled) for my second computer...

I hope you understand

It is my experience.

 

I managed to make it as far as the 8.1 upgrade in the Windows Store.
I can start the download but it stops after about a minute...error says 8.1 download cannot be completed..?

I reverted to a saved VM snapshot and tried again but same result.
Do I need to be signed into a MS account to complete the DL?

EDIT: Guess it was temporary...updated 15 apps in store...and upgrade downloaded fine after that...

 

No. You don't need to be signed in. Your problem is probably temporary on the server side.

I've tried this procedure in a vmware. I used KMSpico to activate. But I can't seem to find the Upgrade in the Store even though I already installed kb287139.

or

I'll be so much be happy if anybody with a kind heart share their Windows 8.1 ProfessionalWMC Generic Activation Tokens.

Great explain really !
can i do this process with Windows 8 Pro Wihtout WMD ?
i have Pro MAK key and want to update to 8.1, i know there is no update to 8.1 for MAK keys.

 

Thank you Tito

 

Nice Theory

Unfortunately not quite possible. Comes back saying that the key is only usable with an upgrade not a fresh install and going through the install of 8, upgrade to WMC and then upgrade to 8.1 is a bit of a rigmarole. One I'm now going to have to go through!

 

I am not sure what you are referring to as "not quite possible". What I stated in the Conclusion is very possible exactly the way it's stated there, and it's been verified by numerous peole. I think you may have misunderstood what the Conclusion states.

In brief, the Conclusion is: You can install just Win 8.1 Pro WMC (or Win 8.1 Pro upgraded to WMC) and activate with nothing but a WMC key, provided that you insert the generic activation tokens.

If you don't have the tokens, then of course you do need to go through the process of installing Win 8 first, which is what the whole original post is about.

Ok i'm having trouble with an automated cmd script copying the data.dat file the tokens.dat copies over fine.
Data.dat requires admin priliges to overwrite, how do it set this in my cmd script?

Code:

@Rem "Inserting Wmc Tokens"
xcopy  /s /h /y /k /g /c "I:\Apps\Wmc Builder\Wmc 8.1 Patcher\Data\x64\data.dat" "D:\Win81\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0.\"
xcopy  /s /h /y /k /g /c "I:\Apps\Wmc Builder\Wmc 8.1 Patcher\Data\x64\tokens.dat" "D:\Win81\mount\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0.\"
