    Hello Guys,

    I have been browsing around and finding that others have had the same issue that I seem to be experiancing when running ABR's activation_backup.exe.

    When I run the backup, it backs up the key but comes with an error saying it could not find the activiation certificate. I did manually go onto the laptop and save the pkey...xrm-ms aswell as the tokens.dat and it is still not activating when I run the activation_restore.exe.

    I have turned off UAC, run in administrator mode... it is activated before i run the backup.

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Ult and have an OA key...
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
