How to back up office 2013 activation information

A few days ago Microsoft released a new generation of office software--office 2013, it is gratifying that the Simplified Chinese version is also in the first sequence. Many people ask how to back up your active office information. In fact, this problem needs to be discussed separately according to the system you are using.

Figure 1 How do I back up office activation?

1. Win7 System

Backups under the Win7 system are relatively easy because their previous generation,--office 2010, also backs up. The concrete step is to open the Explorer, locate and locate the C:programdatamicrosoft officesoftwareprotectionplatform, and then back up the "Tokens.dat" to a secure location (recommended network disk).

Restore operations need to first shut down a service, location in the "Administrative Tools" → "Services" → "Office Software Protection Platform." Right-click and select Stop to overwrite the backup activation file back to the original location. Pay attention! Do not run office at this time, but first restore the office Software Protection Platform Service before you start Office 2013 to continue your day-to-day application.

2. Win8 System

Win8 the backup is slightly different, mainly the folder location has changed, the new location in C:windowssystem32sppstore. Compared with the Win7 system, backup and recovery under WIN8 is simpler, and the entire folder is backed up to other locations directly through the resource manager. Recovery is the same, simply cover the folder back to the original location, the entire operation does not need to adjust the Windows service.
