hi am sorry but no there is currently not any way to read the activation code from the device itself...
But u can still get a new code if u want!
(I got my code by email, because the code i got wen i called them just wasn't working.)
Is the Activation Code stored on the HD2?
I read on one of the pages of one of the threads in one of the Forums (phew), that the MS Activation Code was stored and almost readable if you had the right apps and RegEdit(?).
After settling down with WP7 I decided I was happy to wait for Mango updates before Re-Flashing, so I discarded the Post-It with my code, but XBMod now has a ROM out and I want it. So I'm gonna need that code.
Does anyone have any more on this?

Just phoned MS UK on 0844 800 2400.
Told them I'd reset my phone and asked them to read my activation code back out to me, which they did. Happy days, just sent it to myself in an e-mail so no more waiting for another XBMod ROM. Ta.
well, you can use the code on your WP7 using this registry :
Live ID Activation Code
(Usefull on HD2 to bypass boring serial number step, need a valid serial!)
Code:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\GwpCPC]
"ActivationCode"="*****-*****-*****-*****-*****"
Then maybe after using the code it would be there ?

Hi all
Just a quick question. When you upgrade your Rom, and you go through the HardSPL procedure, does this change your devices MAC address/hardware code?
Reason I'm asking is that my GPS software uses that MAC address which you have to register on their website and they then issue you with a activation code. Problem is, after upgrading I can get the software to work on the phone, but it does not want to accept the same activation code as before.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Mac Address / hardware code?
Definitely not.
Well, HTC Website is just as screwed, that happened to one of the guys here last time too.
You might want to check out the other roms at the elf-upgrading thread.
Hy,
First of all I would like to say hello to all developers here. My point is to build a program that can generate an unlock code based on your IMEI. As seen on HTC Touch we have to somehow get the code using phone's imei number. I am willing to build such a program, but I will need some help: databases with imeis and codes, ways to read the phone etc.
I'm using one of the old rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
And i activated my live account via microsoft code.
If i flash new rom, i'll have to ask m$ for new code ? Can i use one code two times ?
no you can use the same one
Are u sure ?
So i can change ROm to newest for ex. new Mango and use same code ?
live code is based to your phone number, is only info which is given to get live id code...
I apologize in advance i cannot find the forum with similar topic i know exist but i really want to update my hd2 with a newer version of WP7 and gain the ability to do updates but i know if i change the ROM it will ask me for the activation code and i really don't want to go thru the calls to MS with the possibility of them asking for POP.
i installed Registry editor and i go to HKEY local machine/Software/MS/GwpCPC and there is no info. if I'm not mistaken that is the location of the activation key.
Can some one pls help? really would like the latest version. i currently have Version 7.0.7004.
BTW when i try to upgrade thru Zune errors out stating that i don't have room on an empty phone. if there is a way to force update all the way to mango i would greatly appreciate that info as well.
thanks
1. The only way to activate the WP7 with Windows Live is by contacting MS for the activation key. Personally, it is VERY simple. I got my key within 10 minutes. There is also a tutorial here to get it through a chat with a MS representative so that way, you won't need to talk to them.
2. Which WP7 rom are you on? Almost all the custom roms here are now up to date with 8107. You would have to download the exact same custom rom @ the 8107 version and just flash it the same way you did to get WP7.
