    Has anyone tried moving a Thin PC installation to different hardware yet? WES7 activation is hardware-independent and it will not require reactivation, so perhaps this applies to Thin PC as well.

    It's in Chinese! Can you explain the Activation method described?

    It's not a activation method, VMAT is to check if Keys are Valid and how many Activations are left on there (MAK)

    So what is this?

    I only copied two files ( pkeyconfig_emb-sta.xrm-ms and pkeyconfig_tpc-emb.xrm-ms ) to folder c:\Program Files\VAMT 2.0\pkconfig and my thinpc activated.

    I added these two files to install.wim also and I installed the ThinPC once again and on only start take-off of system the ThinPC is already activated

    I forgot that I earlier to file install.wim added two files ( Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Embedded-VLBA-ul.xrm-ms and Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Embedded-VLBA-ul-oob.xrm-ms) to folder install.wim\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\skus\Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Embedded from here
    h t t p ://bbs.wuyou.com/viewthread.php?tid=196399&extra=page%3D1

    Here is my full Pack with 4 files:
    and some screenshots
    download, extract and run CopyFiles.cmd
    h t t p ://grub4dos-ireneuszp.googlecode.com/files/ThinPCact.7z

    Nice and Easy
    You can integrate these files to install.wim and we have activated windows on first starting.

    So what's all this supposed to do, actually? Seems it's just activated with the KMS key.
    Can you post the output of slmgr.vbs -dli? (You can copy the output using Ctrl+C, no need to post a screenshot).

    No need to integrate any files to install.wim. Just install windows thinpc as normal,
    Then copy to C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\skus\Secur ity-SPP-Component-SKU-Embedded\ the 2 files:
    Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Embedded-VLBA-ul.xrm-ms
    Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Embedded-VLBA-ul-oob.xrm-ms
    and run as admin slmgr.vbs -rilc to Reinstall license Files --> Windows appears Activated.
    BUT in fact it's NOT, if you forward system clock pass 30 Days, you will get non-genuine pop-ups. (although windows still shows activated).

    btw, these files: pkeyconfig_emb-sta.xrm-ms& pkeyconfig_tpc-emb.xrm-ms got nothing to do with activation.
    It's only for VAMT (to check activation remaining for MAK keys).

    The key is the GVLK key for Thin PC, which is distributed by MS for all legal Thin PC KMS client product. But the modded KMS activator isn't legal ;), it just a proof of concept!!

    Try this
    slmgr.vbs -rilc
    slmgr.vbs -rearm
    reboot

    and try activation steps again

    The keys only have a limited number of activations, so you'll have to use the KMS emulator or find a different key that can still be activated.
