Hai, One doubt! when we do restore system back on windows server, will we get Activated windows, if it was activated before the time of backup ? and where is the path Activation file located in windows server 2008 R2 ?

Hi, If you are just doing the data restoration, nothing will happen to your activation status. In case you are doing system state restore, it will ask you to Activate Windows.Thanks and Regards, Mukesh. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
