    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..

    Is that definitely my only option? What do I need to do before calling them?

    in toolkit choose windows icon at the bottom of start screen and once inside just choose ez-activator it will activate your copy of WMC for 30 days and will keep reactivating, else just use the telephone activation method with the WMC key

    According to me yes

    Disconnect internet.. run activation window, select phone activation, note down serial & confirm the same,

    ez-activator doesn't seem to do anything, the loading bar at the bottom goes green a bit but nothing seems to happen.

    Use Cold Zero's activation helper v1.5 to check the status, and see what's really going on. ...T

    I get this error with every button I click... and I get the same one when I run the phone activation process, I assume it should show me some numbers but it doesn't. View attachment 21175 View attachment 21176

    I think you played a lot with activation before posting... Repair that with "slmgr /rilc" in elevated command prompt & restart, then restore your tokens & try phone activation..

    good idea : - refresh your pc

    better idea :- install windows afresh
