If you don’t need it to stay in Activation Only mode, you could simply create a separate shortcut with the following command line (target): “C:Program FilesiTunesiTunes.exe” /StoreActivationMode 1

This way you can go in and out of Activation Only mode whenever you want.

Hi thank you for the useful activation mode only tip and help. what i dont understand is how do i then activate the phones in the same corporate account under separate profiles but still to the one corporate account. we want to control the activity on the iphones centrally
Any help would be appreciated

@Jonathon

actually deleting the StoreActivationMode file does bring you back to normal iTunes mode on OSX. i would assume that the 0 in the file would be the same thing. :)

To go back into normal mode you need to add a 0 instead of a 1

defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 0
