    Uploaded version 1.2.3.

    1) Fixed serious bug in wsservicecrk. in some cases bogus signature could not pass
    2) 32-bit installer won't run on 64-bit system
    3) Easy-to-use button "CrackIt" in TokenExtractor.
    Now it is very simple to convert trial license to full - by one button click
    Going to command prompt needed no more

    You need to reset MachineID and use clean LiveID
    Read release\info\MachineID.txt

    exactly.

    1) from the computer where trial has expired you need to export license. Do it with TokenExtractor
    2) sideload appx on new computer using powershell command add-appxpackage. dependencies will be needed. see redistribution sample
    3) install wsservicecrk
    4) install license copied from first computer. use wsll.
    5) if license is trial - run TokenExtractor and CrackIt

    Probably because you have already cracked it. But microsoft doesnt think so :)

    It can indeed cause irritation if Trial and Full is in the token.
    Maybe you can build in an option to delete tokens (more flexible)

    I already did it. Current versions first uninstall license then install new.
    TokenExtractor can collect even deleted licenses. WSService do not clear garbage in the file.

    What is complex now ?
    Using fiddler to capture appx ?
    Using powershell to install it ?
    Are you scared of command prompt ?


    I think we must have assymetric answer to microsoft.
    We should not spend too much our effort and time against microsoft.
    If something would take too much programming it isn't worth the time.
    If you have an idea how to improve without complex programming - please share !

    That's why my idea was "redistribution"
    someone with skills a little higher than "dummy" prepare release and share it with others
    Others only run install.cmd

    You dont need to extract already installed app.
    You need to initiate download and intercept URL of appx then download it in your browser.

    URL has authentication tokens. It is constructed for a limited period of time.
    Downloading is possible only on behalf of license issued by microsoft - not by crack .

    Interesting observation.
    You probably know how winstore downloads are processed.
    Through Windows Update service and special plugin.
    Downloads rest in C:\windows\softwaredistribution\dowload\<many hex digits>

    I compared grabbed appx with content downloaded by WU

    2 144 604a47b6923fc8134b38a7b617a9008522c6d39dEXT.dat
    91 570 604a47b6923fc8134b38a7b617a9008522c6d39d_1
    4 292 608 604a47b6923fc8134b38a7b617a9008522c6d39d_2
    12 337 Abm_6D4871D0B50C2F3A2E3CEDB25AFB2DFABC680EFB.cab
    4 384 178 TetriBlox.appx

    Tetriblox.appx was downloaded by me,others - by windows update.

    .cab file contain block map

    WU strip appx into 2 parts.
    4 292 608 + 91 570 = 4 384 178 - exactly original appx file size

    Content of WU download somehow encrypted. Dunno how.

    Dont know anything about .dat
