Nope, not without activating online using /ato which is no longer possible with the leaked key Maybe rrohela has done this for VMWare when this was still possible? If so he might be able to share and supply required information and file
My understanding is that data.dat shared by rrohela belongs to the Win 8 activation backup created by Advanced Tokens Manager. Advanced Tokens Manager creates a Windows Activation Backup folder containing: config.ini data.dat tokens.dat You replace the data.dat with the one shared by rrohela and make the edit to the config.ini file, then use Advanced Tokens Manager to restore those files (that backup). That's my understanding of it anyway...
But without tokens.dat from the same Windows 8 VMWare installation the data.dat can't be restored to a activated Windows 8 system, and therefor is useless in my opinion...or am i missing something?
what is the file to download for windows 8 Like for windows 7 Windows6.1-KB2757817-x64. which one to download for windows 8
I am pretty sure he was talking about the KMS Client VM to fake the Activation Count. Could be wrong it was a bit confusing.
Also for those of you using the Original Win7 KMS host you can just attach the VHD in Disk Manager and replace the tokens etc. (Windows 7 and above I believe). With Hyper-V just make sure you don't have snapshots. Saves the Live boot CD bit. Also applicable to modifying your start-up script on your second VM faking the KMS activation count etc.
Well in that case, why he/she is taking about using windows 8 as KMS host? And why he/she is taking about it has been tested it on 3 different installations on vmware & working? Confused...
these methods are reqally confusing me. can anybody make a video on how to do it. Please someone post a step by step instruction on how to enable KSM host machine and to create a VM in VMware to increase the count to 25.
