Backup Windows® 7/ Windows® Vista and Microsoft® Office 2010 with Advanced Tokens Manager

Reinstalling Windows every time on your computer is usually a cumbersome task that involves many steps. But, do you remember the most important step? It is Windows Activation that asks for license and activation keys of Windows 7/ Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2010 that you wish to reinstall. But, what will you do if you accidentally lose that key? Do not worry asAdvanced Tokens Manager can help you to restore your activation files without even checking your Windows cover box.

Advanced Tokens Manager is a portable application that provides a simple way to backup the license and activation keys of Windows 7/ Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2010 by restoring the information on a new installation. You just need to follow the given path to find out the activation tokens file for Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\tokens.dat.

And for Microsoft Office 2010, the Activation Tokens file is usually found through the following path:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\tokens.dat.

You must have noticed ‘tokens.dat’ at the end of both of these paths. Tokens.dat is a digitally signed file that stores the Windows activation files. All these files together have a digital signature that is only compatible to a single computer that you are using and cannot be replaced on other computers. As the activation file is already saved on your computer, you just have to retrieve that activation number whenever you have to reinstall your Windows.

There are definitely many advantages of backing up your license and activation keys. The very obvious use is that it allows you to recover the lost activation keys. And secondly, it allows you to activate Windows and Microsoft Office without even going online. This means that even if you don’t have an Internet connection or you have run out of online activation attempts, you can still activate Windows 7/ Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2010.

So, next time if you want to format your computer, make sure that you use Advanced Tokens Manager to restore the activation files.
