"The Activation Backup has never been ea
sier"
Advanced Tokens Manager is a easy to use application that help you with
the activation backup and restore
About:
Advanced Tokens Manager is a safer application that helps you with the W
indows and Office Activation Backup and Restore.
Microsoft imposes one limit of activations online and by phone for all l
icenses on your products.
This application is able to make the full backup of all activation data
stored on the computer for a trusted restore
without damage or modify the activation system.
Features:
Activation restore success rate of 100% if the new product edition is th
e same from backup and the copy is clean installed.
Preserve the Hardware ID Master Generation Key for sensitive license cha
nnels when it is activated by Phone.
Use the same backup for restore the activation status infinitely on the
same hardware.
Do not take ownership of any activation file backup / restoring the file
properties.
Activate the product from x86 to x64 and vice versa when have the same e
dition.
Install a fresh product windows copy with newer service packs and update
s.
Stores all activation details for a trusted activation restore.
All product license activation channels are fully-supported.
Check if the detected key match with the installed license.
Backup integrity checker with CRC32 of all backed-up files.
Check if the backup is valid for the product Edition.
Force the restore reinstalling files from tokens.dat.
Update your drivers without lost the activation.
Refresh the drivers before the restore.
Application log for activation restore.
Static Product ID after activated.
Instructions:
You must have the correct SLIC (Software Licensing Description Table) fo
r OEM activations.
Online and Phone activations will be instantly activated after restore.
Do not have major changes on the hardware.
Windows 8 and Office 2013 have the same activation system, so the backup
is saved in one place called of
'Activation Backup', that stores all license data for Windows an
d Office.
For the Windows 8 and Office 2010 or Windows 7 with the Office 2013 or 2
010, the backup is made separately
called of 'Windows Activation Backup' and 'Office Activation Bac
kup' respectively.
Is needed to install the Windows and Office 2013 for restore their activ
ation on a Windows 8 system.
* All backup data are stored on the root of the application in f
olders separately.
* Limited activations that have grace period is not supported. I
n other words, only permanent activations
is supported for Windows and Office.
* For Upgrade Activations, is needed the installation of a Retai
l copy of the Operating System. In other words,
you will get problems restoring an upgrade activation on
a Volume License copy.
* If you have restarted the computer on the restore, the network
adapters does not will work properly. You need
to activate your network on the Device Manager.
* Is advised the installation of the same drivers from the backu
p on the restore to avoid problems on the activation.
Sorry, the Product Key not match error:
The application haven not detected the correct Product Key on the regist
ry and you need to enter manually.
Is necessary for the correct Activation Restore, the Product Key is stor
ed on Config.ini file.
If the error appears, is needed to enter manually the Product Key for a
safe restore.
Primarily occurs with MAK Product Keys that are hidden from the Registry
.
Is shown the last five characters of the real key detected.
If the restore won't have activated the system:
The Operating System has been detected a blacklisted product key and hav
e blocked the activation.
The Operating System has been detected major hardware changes and have b
locked the activation.
The Operating System has not detected a valid SLIC Table for OEM Activat
ions.
