Use this homebrew to get activation data on an HENkaku enabled PlayStation Vita.
Vita-Activator is a tool that lets you activate data on an HENkaku enabled PlayStation Vita. This is done by directly calling Sony's servers with your credentials to do the activation, just like a regular, up to date PS Vita would do.  


==What is Vita-activator?==
Having an activated console means you can transfer games from your PC and/or PS3 to the console. This is useful for many reasons, either to legitimately play your Vita games, or to install a PSP game on your PS Vita (that you previously purchased from your PC, for example).

'''Note:''' The tool fetches your PSN credentials to pass them to the Sony systems, please use at your own risk.


A strong disclaimer here: the tool fetches your PSN credentials to pass them to the Sony systems. Technically by using this tool you are in breach of the PSN’s Terms and conditions, which could give ammunition to Sony to ban you. Handle with care, and I would not recommend using your “real” PSN account for this.
==User guide==
Please backup your current act.dat if your vita is activated and you want to test this, as it has a chance of causing your vita to lose it's activation status.


Additionally, the tool itself asks you to enter your id and password. There is some significant risk here. Now, we looked at the source code and the app doesn’t do anything fishy with the information, but you’ll want to either build the binary from sources yourself, or get the vpk from a trusted place. The github of the developer has a vpk, although there’s of course no guarantee it was actually built from the same sources…
Once the activation file is generated, you have to copy ux0:act.dat to tm0:npdrm/ and restart the console.
