    Local, offline backup and restore of Windows 10 activation token


    My company provides two Windows PCs along with our industrial equipment, where the 2nd computer serves as an offline, unpowered backup. If the first PC fails, say the power supply goes out, we pull the removable drive, slide it into the backup, and power up.

    The only hitch with this strategy was that Windows would detect the hardware change and ask for re-activation.

    We solved this (under Windows 7) using the Advanced Tokens Manager app (Josh Cells):

    Purchase 2 PCs, each with their own OEM Win7 Pro-64 license key.

    Activate each online, backup the activation token with ATM.

    When swapping a single drive from one PC to the next, use ATM to restore the activation for the correct PC upon first boot. Note that these are offline industrial systems, so online activation is not an option. Phoning in to Microsoft is not ideal either, and we would like to make this restore process as seamless and easy as possible.

    Now we are moving from Win7 to Win10 and I would like to keep this procedure, but have found that ATM latest version is 3.5 for Win8 and no longer supported.

    Can you suggest a replacement app to locally backup and restore a Win10 activation token, when a drive image is switched to different hardware? Or is there a better way to do what I want?

    Thanks for the help!
    Eric

    Hello Paolo Escoto

    To Backup Activation of you current Windows 10 and restore into Future Windows 10 after fresh installation you need to follow steps given below:

    First you want to Download Advance Token Manager and run as Administrator.

    And it gives you to backup your activation option, backup your activation and saved file in another storage such as usb drive with advance token manager.

    After reinstalling Windows 10 you can restore activation of Windows 10. It works only same edition of Windows where you backup from.

    And Bingo you activated your Backup activation files in your new Windows.

    Note: It works only in Without internet connection [offline mode].

    and after that Link your Current Microsoft Account.

    Most Important message: It works only If your pc activated with Genuine Product Key not digital entitle key. And don't do for illegal purpose.

    Microsoft enables offline play for Windows 10 games

    Most Windows 10 games will support offline play, but you'll have to work at it.

    "Larry Hryb, the man known to the world as Major Nelson, announced on Twittertoday that Microsoft has "made some backend updates to improve your experience playing @Windows 10 games offline." Basically, if you're going to be somewhere that lacks online coverage—on a submarine, for instance—it will still be possible to play your games. But there are some restrictions.

    "Most games available in the Store on your Windows 10 device support offline play, but check the details of the game to make sure yours is supported by searching for your game at http://www.xbox.com," the Xbox support site says. "Most games with a campaign mode will be playable offline, but games with network co-op or multiplayer features will not work while you’re offline. While playing offline, some features, such as the ability to purchase additional items from the Windows Store, will not be available. Additionally, any leaderboards will be unavailable while you're offline."

    Obviously, online features like buying stuff from in-game stores won't be available when you're offline, but the bit about "games with network co-op or multplayer features" not working while offline really isn't clear. We tested with Gears of War 4 and confirmed that the offline features like campaign and LAN multiplayer worked just fine when disconnected.

    There are more caveats, though. You're limited to just one "designated offline device" at a time, and you can only change your designated offline device three times per year. Switching into offline mode isn't all that easy, either. First, you'll need to set your designated offline device:

    • Make sure that you’re online.
    • Check that your device has the latest Windows updates: Go to Start,Settings, Update and security, and then Windows Update and see if any relevant updates are available.
    • Open the Store. You’ll be prompted to sign in if you haven’t already.
    • Select the Me icon (this is your profile picture).
    • Select Settings, and then under Offline Permissions, make sure that the toggle is set to On.
    After that, you'll have to "prepare" your games by launching each one that you want to play offline while you're still online, and logging into your Xbox Live account. This is a bit like launching Steam into Offline mode while you still have an internet connection... but you'll have to prepare each individual Xbox game this way before going offline.

    Once you've logged into the game while you're online, you can exit at any time and you'll be set. Of course, if you change your mind and want to play something you haven't properly prepared, you're out of luck.

    The upside is that this only affects Windows 10 games, but it still seems wildly complicated and restrictive to me. Worse, while improved functionality is always welcome, I can't see how this does anything but beg for unflattering comparisons with Steam: When I want to play my Steam games offline, I set Steam offline, restart it, and I'm on my way—and I can do it as often as I want. Microsoft's implementation of offline play is an improvement, but only because it wasn't available at all previously. As a step toward becoming more competitive with Steam, though, it falls woefully short.
