As many people know manufactures today use something called SLIC which stands for "Software Licensing Description Table" which is they implanted the Serial of Windows into the bios of their motherboard whichs means you don't get the normal Microsoft Windows sticker on your Desktop, Workstation or Laptop anymore, so people can't sell them and make money of the licenses because they purchased a computer with Windows 7 and wanna run Linux, Windows 8/8.1 or something instead.
Normally Windows 7 don't support SLIC which means that OEM Manufactures like Dell, Lenovo, HP and others have their own OEM Serial pre-installed and activated in Windows 7 that comes with your machine.
So if you wanna get rid of the OEM Manufactures Services, Applications and more "Crap-ware" they fill into their Windows, you can use this guide below to "move" the activation token that are stored in Windows 7 onto Microsoft's original Windows 7.
Which you can download from msdn or Digitalriver. (Links for digitalrivers Windows 7 iso downloads will be posted further down.)
1. You need a program called "Advanced Tokens Manager" which is free for non-commercial use.
It can be downloaded for free from the creator Josh Cell Software: http://joshcellsoftwares.com/products/advancedtokensmanager/
Before you can run the program u need to have .NET Framework v4.0 installed on your system.
It can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17718
2. unpack and run "Advanced Tokens Manager" as administrator on your Windows 7.
Then click on "Activation Backup" this can also be used on Office and **Windows 8.1
Please read this line below careful before trying to use this on Windows 8.1:
** 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.
3. When "Advanced Tokens Manager" is done, it will creator a folder called "Windows Activation Backup" in the where you ran the application from.
just copy the "Advanced Tokens Manager" folder over to your USB stick and keep it there while installing the Microsoft version of Windows 7.
4. Copy the "Advanced Tokens Manager" folder over to your newly installed Windows 7, and run "Advanced Tokens Manager.exe" it will now say
"Activation Restore"
5. Click on "Activation Restore" and you will get this popup with "Restore Now?" saying that it will take Approximately 5mins...
6. When "Advanced Tokens Manager" is done you will get a popup saying "Success"
(This is now my own picture, thx to ezinehow.com)
and now go to Start then rightclick on "Computer" and choose Properties and under "Windows Activation" it should now say "Windows is Activated"
These 6 steps should do so you can have a original Windows 7 without all the "Crap-ware" the OEM's fill Windows up with.
***Most pictures are of Windows 8.1 i know that because i don't have Windows 7 at home but the process will be the same.***
Windows 7 Download Digital River Links:
I tried to create this guide to help other people that are in need to set up a Raid System or just want a fresh install of an original Windows 7. Yes this method will also let you install update KB971033 which re-activate Windows 7 to check if your serial is original and it will keep being activated...
I just had to setup a raid 1 system at work, i cloned Windows 7 over to one ssd and wanted to add the second as a mirror but that wasn't possible so i ended up spending sometime searching around and found out about "Advanced Token Manager" and it saved my ass ^^
