Advanced Tokens Manager is an easy to use application that helps you with Windows and Office activation backup and restore.


About:

- Microsoft imposes one limit of activations online and by phone for all licenses 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 modification of the activation system.

Features:

- Activation restore success rate is 100% if the new product edition is the same from backup and the copy is clean installed.
- Preserve the Hardware ID Master Generation Key for sensitive license channels when it is activated by Phone.
- Use the same backup to 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 using the same product edition.
- Install a fresh product windows copy with newer service packs and updates.
- Stores all activation details for a trusted activation restore.
- All product license activation channels are fully-supported.
- Check if the detected ProductKey matches 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 loosing 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) for OEM activations.
- Online and Phone activations will be instantly activated after restore.
- Do not have major changes on the computer 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 and Office.
- For the Windows 8 and Office 2010 or Windows 7 with the Office 2013 or 2010, the backup is made separately called ‘Windows Activation Backup’ and ‘Office Activation Backup’ respectively.
- Is needed to install the Windows and Office 2013 for restore their activation on a Windows 8 system.

* All backup data is stored on the root of the application in separate folders.
* Limited activations that have grace period is not supported. In other words, only permanent activations are supported for Windows and Office.
* For Upgrade Activations, the installation of a Retail copy of the Operating System is required. In other words, you will get problems restoring an upgrade activation on a Volume License copy.
* If you have restarted the computer during the restore, the network adapters may not will work properly. You need to activate your network adapter in the Device Manager.
* It is advised that the same driver status from backup be used for restore to avoid any problems on the activation.

Sorry, the Product Key not match error:

- The application did not detected the correct Product Key in the registry and you need to enter it manually.
- Product Key is required for correct Activation Restore, the Product Key is stored on Config.ini file.
- If the error appears, you need to enter the Product Key manually for a proper restore.
- Primarily occurs with MAK Product Keys that are hidden from the Registry.
- Are the last five characters of the real Product Key detected.

If the restore did not activate the system:

- The application did not detected the correct Product Key in the registry and you need to enter it manually.
- Product Key is required for correct Activation Restore, the Product Key is stored on Config.ini file.
- If the error appears, you need to enter the Product Key manually for a proper restore.
- Primarily occurs with MAK Product Keys that are hidden from the Registry.
- Are the last five characters of the real Product Key detected.

Backup Compatibility:

Windows 8.1 Family ***
Windows 8 Family
Windows 7 Family
Windows Vista Family
Windows Server 2008 / 2011 / 2012 Family
Microsoft Office Family from 2010 to 2013

* All editions, versions and Service Packs.
* Requires .NET Framework v4.0.

*** WARNING ABOUT WINDOWS 8.1 COMPATIBILITY ***

*** Windows 8.1 is * NOT * fully supported. All the activation data can be saved, but only those that were activated by * Phone * will be restored properly.
In other words, the Online activated backups can not be restored until now, * ONLY * if your OS is the Windows 8.1 - Other OS(es) are NOT affected ! We are working to discover why.
*** You can * NOT * restore the Windows 8 activation on Windows 8.1. Microsoft was made hard changes on the Windows 8.1 activation system, so we are unable to port the Windows 8 activation to Windows 8.1 without brick the system.
