Does anyone know if I can create a backup of Office Pro (retail) 2016 from my DESKTOP, and restore the backup to my LAPTOP and have Office Pro 2016 on both of my PCs?

 

I THINK I have the retail version, I'm not sure how to check.

NB! Before You will use MSActBackUp 1.0.8, be sure that Malwarebytes Anti Malware and the other anti-virus programs are completely switched off .
(Others AV I have not tested it, but MBAM blocks the job and the result is zero.)

I never had problem using MSActBackUp 1.0.8 to save/backup activation of an activated Windows with Malwarebytes Anti Malware Premium and Windows Defender on. After upgrading to Windows 10 Enterprise version 1511, build 10586 and the activation has not been successfully restored I was unable to select a product from the product list via by clicking on the product or the check box, and the Save Activation button is grey out. In another word, I had problem using MSActBackUp 1.0.8 to save/backup activation only if Windows is not activated. Another member palmpre3 had the same problem when upgrading to Windows 10 build 10586. He asked me "How do you backup with v1.0.8? the 'save activation' is grayed out. and nothing can be changed in the backup UI... ". I don't know why and can only guess it maybe because Windows is deactivated and this tool required at least Windows is activated in order to save activation even if other product like Office is activated? Another problem with MSActBackUp 1.0.8 is that it sometimes failed to restore activation. You may find details at http://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/249501-windows-10-rtm-activation-via-phone-or-kms/?do=findComment&comment=1028017.

I have experienced problems with all these three methods case by case. The outcomes are so weird and confusing. I've posted the details at http://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/249501-windows-10-rtm-activation-via-phone-or-kms/?do=findComment&comment=1028017. Maybe these methods needed to be updated to be compatible with Windows 10 Enterprise version 1511, build 10586? Or anybody can help us solve the problems there?

Thank you in advance and wish you all a merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This could be a bug of Win10 enterprise. It sure doesn't look like a deliberate feature.

I think so too because its behaviors are so different from case to case and so weird. I never saw these weird behaviors before.

MSActBackUp Portable by Ratiborus not work on my Windows 10 Pro.

 

I used Yamicsoft Windows 10 Manager for backup [Office 2013 + Windows 10 Pro]

Hi GaMeOveR,

 

I can't find an option in Yamicsoft Windows 10 Manager to backup activation of Windows or Office. Do I miss something? Can you please share a little detail with us about how to back activation of Windows or Office using Yamicsoft Windows 10 Manager? A tutorial would be better.

 

Thank you and merry Christmas!

MSActBackup is working. in case the backup is grey out, remember to remove/uninstall unactivated office installation key

Hey Guys,

 

I recently replaced my Internal HDD which had a windows 10 th2 activated using the windows 8.1 upgrade process.

After installing the new windows 10 th2 on my new installed SSD, activation fails with the below error:

 

Quote

"Activation failed because this device does not have a valid digital entitlement or product key. Error code:0x803F7001" 

 

to note that I took a backup before the migration using MSActBackup backup tool and I tried using the manual restore by replacing the spp file under C:\windows\system32 to no success.

Do you think the issue lies with the fact that the hardware changed on the notebook and also my old hdd is yet holding the windows 10 (not yet formated), could it be that the Digital Entitlement is getting info that the key is already used on another copy and yet activation exceeded.

 

PLEASE HELP me solve this issue and not end up buying a new copy of windows 10.

[vibranium]

If you have digital entitlement, upgrading to an SSD should mean that you still have the entitlement.

 

Try a fresh install on the SSD and remove the OS from the HDD. Why waste all that space with old files floating around, if you won't use them in a dual boot?

Hey Man,

 

I already applied a fresh installation on the new SSD, however still windows is not activated and now I'm faced with the option to buy the copy from the store.

Do you think that I need to delete windows partition on my old HDD to get it activated ?

 

[vibranium]

I don't know why this glitch is happening. The OS on the second HDD shouldn't affect activation but like I said if it is not needed by not just delete it?

 

If that doesn't work follow loquillo's advice, installing Home instead of Ult.

[palmpre3]

When using MSActBackup (1.0.8), the SPP.HIV, WPA.HIV are missing in stored files. And of course, I can't restore the activation. I am on Windows 10 Enterprise 10240 MAK (-P9XR4). Any idea what could be the root cause? Other key (-2WF8R) on other PC has no problem backing up and restoring. Thanks

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\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:KEY-VALUE

cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /unpkey:KEY-VALUE
