You can use the VAMT (Volume Activation Management Tool) to import product-activation data from a Computer Information List (.cilx or .cil) file into SQL Server, and to export product-activation data into a .cilx file. A .cilx file is an XML file that stores computer and product-activation data. You can import data or export data during the following scenarios:
Import and merge data from previous versions of VAMT.
Export data to use to perform proxy activations.

| Editing a .cilx file using an application other than VAMT can corrupt the .cilx file and is not supported. |
Import VAMT Data
To import data into VAMT:
Open VAMT.
In the right-side Actions pane, click Import list to open the Import List dialog box.
In the Import List dialog box, navigate to the .cilx file location, select the file, and click Open.
In the Volume Activation Management Tool dialog box, click OK to begin the import. VAMT displays a progress message while the file is being imported. Click OK when a message appears and confirms that the import has completed successfully.
Export VAMT Data
Exporting VAMT data from a non-Internet-connected VAMT host computer is the first step of proxy activation using multiple VAMT hosts. To export product-activation data to a .cilx file:
In the left-side pane, you can click a product you want to export data for, or click Products if the list contains data for all products.
If you want to export only part of the data in a product list, in the product list view in the center pane select the products you want to export.
In the right-side Actions pane on, click Export list to open the Export List dialog box.
In the Export List dialog box, click Browse to navigate to the .cilx file.
Under Export options, select one of the following data-type options:
Export products and product keys
Export products only
Export proxy activation data only. Selecting this option ensures that the export contains only the licensing information required for the proxy web service to obtain CIDs from Microsoft. No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is contained in the exported .cilx file when this selection is checked.
If you have selected products to export, select the Export selected product rows only check box.
Click Save. VAMT displays a progress message while the data is being exported. Click OK when a message appears and confirms that the export has completed successfully.
