kelsett Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I have a small question before buying though... I saw on startisback.com that you use motherboard identification, once StartIsBack is activated does it stay so or will it check the motherboard regularly? Because I've installed Win8 on a usb key (see the Usb To Go feature on Win8) and I often use it on several different computers...

I've gifted you a key to test it.
snip4 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I never has to buy a software before, but now the story it's different: I just buy a licence.THANK YOU for this nice program! Buy it, really good price!
Bionic Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Hi Tihiy, I use VMware on my PC.Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (x86)Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (x64)I would like to add StartIsBack with my VM's but serial/response generated for my PC doesn't seem to work with my VM's?Not a fortune spent but seem unfair I should have to use up so many activations for one PC?

I can't guarantee it, though. You can freeze time, duplicate bios uuid or just change user / reinstall every 30 days. I'm not sure how fair this is.If you want this issue resolved, contact me. I'll set up a web service which would allow you to check your license keys and how much activations are used on them in a few days.
kelsett Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 [...]It should still work because it would be tied to usb stick serial number. I've gifted you a key to test it.Okay, thanks, will test and give feedback as soon as possible!
zepherz Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I just tried Classic Shell and it looks pretty good at first blush. I have not checked it completely but from what I see it seems to work pretty well...........
mara- Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Nice work Tihiy! Do you still need translations? I would like to do Serbian Latin and Cyrillic (if your tool supports it). Let me know.Cheers
Leo Natan Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 How does activation keep track of hardware change?I change the HDD and restore from backup, would it remain activated?I change HDD, activate with key (it still counts on the previous activation), but then I change the motherboard. What happens then?Thanks
ISOHaven Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I change the HDD and restore from backup, would it remain activated?Yes, as long as you use the same mainboard.I change HDD, activate with key (it still counts on the previous activation), but then I change the motherboard. What happens then?Once both the HDD and mainboard change you'll need another activation.
Leo Natan Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Would it automatically deactivate, or is it only for future installs?
Chris123NT Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Would it automatically deactivate, or is it only for future installs?My understanding is that if BOTH Mobo and HDD are changed then it will de-activate automatically.
smsc Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks Tihiy, my first step will be bought the 2 or 5 licenses key.Then, I would like to integrate into Windows 8 image using the classic $OEM$ dir. Just a question. Is there any silent installation switch? Like "setup.exe /s"Unfortunately, not yet. The easiest integration method i can think of is all-users install and os capture into install.wim.Well, is there any guide to do that? Because I never integrate application into Install.wim.I believe the installer will modify something on registry to start the menu.
Live4Racing Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Like it and buy a Licence, with a problem.ERROR: INVALID LICENSE KEY
