    What i meant was, there´s is no need for running 2 VMs, one with two instances of CODYQX4s KMS Server Service is enough, both services can even run on host machine.

    Ya I know I can but I use the server 2012 for a few other things at the same time. When you have 4 TB of HD and 16 gigs of RAM you tend not to care to much about having to full VM's running at the same time :D

    Would there be any benefit to rebuilding your tokens.dat file after doing any form of dodgy activation?

    Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012

    To rebuild the Tokens.dat file in Windows 8 or in Windows Server 2012, follow these steps:
    Start an elevated command prompt. To do this, follow these steps:
    Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
    In the search box, type cmd.
    Swipe across or right-click the displayed Command Prompt icon.
    Tap or click Run as administrator.
    Type the following commands in the order in which they are presented. Press Enter after each command.
    net stop sppsvc

    cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WSLicense

    ren tokens.dat tokens.bar

    net start sppsvc

    cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rilc
    Restart the computer.

    Yes if that dodgy activity creating any problem with activation then rebuilding licence could solve the problem.

    Playing with tokens could lead to non-genuine status with genuine key & that command can solve the problem...

    I'm just wondering if in some way it may help prevent MS detecting dodgy copies in the future if all the dodgy copies have a rebuilt tokens.dat

    Just a question: Could the MSToolKit also be used to activate Visio 2013 Pro and Project 2013 Pro if Office 2013 is already activated?

    I would like to test Visio 2013 Pro and compare to SmartDraw which we're using for some time now. As we'll need 2-3 month of an intensive testing before to buy the official license. Project isn't really needed, we'll continue to use Primavera Enterprise.

    Thanks for any info.

    Just install it, (the VL ) and the next time you reboot it will be detected and activated, works like a charm ...T

    Yah, both products' activation data can be accessed via ospp.vbs.

    I've posted in this thread before and used that batch file posted by Hackeur to reactivate my Windows 8 Pro WMC install. However due to a hardware problem I've had to replace most of my hardware and while my programs are all still installed and Windows boots fine, it's deactivated itself. Is there anyway to reactivate it now that the WMC loophole has been closed? I backed up my store folder but restoring it didn't reactivate me. I've also tried the MS toolkit but I'm not really sure what to do with it.

    tl;dr: can I still reactivate my WMC installation?

    Activation lost due to hardware change so no script or restore going to work... Your last hope is just phone activation, try that..
