Backup/Restore Activation Backup/Restore Activation [Updated to Windows 10 & Office/Server 2016]

[november_ra1n]

don't work x86 and x64 :(

Are you sing command with admin privilege.

You probably install Office 2016 and uninstall it but key is in your system try to use Official uninstaller posted there -----------Official Uninstaller Microsoft Office 2013-2016 or Office 365 -- see post reply #270 >>

If still not working use other backup tool ---- OPA-Backup 3.4.2 [Alternative]

i can't unticked key and now don't have installed office, i clear all with ccleaner

Delete that Office key using last 5 digit you can see on your screenshot than try to backup again.

Troubleshooting (1) for grey out Save Activation Button:

Usually Office 2013 Retail Edition shows 2 different key on the program saving activation section one of the key name Office 2013 Retail Grace Period key this is unnessary Office key and need to delete to order to use Save Activation button.

Delete the grace period key:

cmd (admin)

[x64 bit office on x64 bit Windows or x86 on x86]

OR

[x86 bit office on x64 bit Windows]

*KEY-VALUE = Last five digit of Office Product Key

cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:KEY-VALUE

cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:KEY-VALUE

i have error in cmd :(

open cmd run as admin

@november_ra1n

cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:KEY-VALUE

[bonbonboi]

Looks kinda complicated stuff to me :(

[november_ra1n]

Though there are multiple backup tools that are available in the market, what I liked most about Ahsay is that there is fast support services. This makes it even more convenient to the users. I would really recommend Ahsay for speedy backup services.

That is Cloud Backup Solution all we got here activation backup & restore option only.

Hi november_ra1n

I interested in doing manual backup

I already tried your manual steps few times on a fresh install on my real PC, not VM

I'm offline and unplug my internet cable

But I can't get it activated

My friend told me that maybe to get offline act on win 10 is not just that simple just to replace SPP folder with all files within

You point to System32

while there is Syswow64 also that contain SPP

Maybe this can be effect also?

I have tried two of the Virtual Machine x64 OS both was successfully reactivate Windows 10 & Office 2016 without Syswow64 SPP folder, did you follow the instruction step by step carefully.

Most importantly did you Take Ownership on ssp folder properly on STEP 4. If you did not some of the file could not be copy and replace properly.

Yes so sure

I take owner with that reg keys

And doing SHift + Delete that spp folder (with all inside it)

Then copy the backup spp folder that already activated

Then paste to system32 folder

Then restart

Checked cmd slmgr /dlv

And it give me error SLUI bla..bla..bla... (sorry I forgot, didn't write down that error)

Why don't you use one of the automatic backup / restore software instead of manual one.

I'm sorry IMHO theres no fun (and educational purposes) for me if I'm using third party apps

I'm kinda 'challanged' how to beat this offline manual activation

Just looks like that old time I learned how offline win 7 activation process :)

Btw, I just about read your tutorial how activate win 8.1 offline on the other thread

I think you miss some detail on this win 10 steps

slmgr -upk

net stop sppsvc

Theres no steps of both on win 10

But you wrote it on win 8.1

And please look at Ratiborus's apps

On WPA restore button

You also didn't wrote it either

What is this WPA?

[november_ra1n]

---------------------------

What is this WPA?

That was included to the previous topic but when I examine I did not need to disable sppsvc on Windows 10.

I try to simplify the topic for any unnecessary steps depends on my testing.

===================================================

The WPA.DBL file is actually an RC4-encrypted database of the expiration info of your installation, the confirmation of activation, the hardware configuration at activation time, and the current hardware configuration

m2 same problem and my key is blocked, i can't activate my pc after 'restore or format'.

Use the one of two tools to backup and activate.

i tried to restore 'my activation' with 'MSActBackUp'

and i getted 'restoring activation succesfully (first post you said)'

but i looked this pc > properties > activation status

look's like my pc doesn't activated

after i restarted pc and connected internet , looked activation status --> activated

is there any problem? i mean after using 'msactbackup' , my pc must be activated

but my pc activated after connecting internet

[november_ra1n]

Yes tools backup & restore both Windows 10 + Office 2016 at once.

Is it possible to provide office 2016 pro plus retail full key which ends with 3DBVH to mail - [email protected]?. I activated office 2016 with this key, but forgot to note it down else where.

thanks in advance

[Ramouz]

Nevermind. I solved it. Badly written tutorial.
