Advanced Tokens Manager is an easy to use application that helps you with Window
s and Office activation backup and restore.
About:
- Microsoft imposes one limit of activations online and by phone for all license
s 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 act
ivation 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 ha
rdware.
- Do not take ownership of any activation file backup / restoring the file prope
rties.
- Activate the product from x86 to x64 and vice versa when using the same produc
t 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 sa
ved in one place called of Activation Backup, that stores all license data for Win

dows and Office.

- For the Windows 8 and Office 2010 or Windows 7 with the Office 2013 or 2010, t
he 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, o
nly permanent activations are supported for Windows and Office.
* For Upgrade Activations, the installation of a Retail copy of the Operating Sy
stem is required. In other words, you will get problems restoring an upgrade act
ivation on a Volume License copy.
* If you have restarted the computer during the restore, the network adapters ma
y not will work properly. You need to activate your network adapter in the Devic
e Manager.
* It is advised that the same driver status from backup be used for restore to a
void 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 y
ou need to enter it manually.
- Product Key is required for correct Activation Restore, the Product Key is sto
red 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 y
ou need to enter it manually.
- Product Key is required for correct Activation Restore, the Product Key is sto
red 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, * ON
LY * if your OS is the Windows 8.1 - Other OS(es) are NOT affected ! We are work
ing to discover why.

*** You can * NOT * restore the Windows 8 activation on Windows 8.1. Microsoft w
as made hard changes on the Windows 8.1 activation system, so we are unable to p
ort the Windows 8 activation to Windows 8.1 without brick the system.
