I attempted to bypass the 1/1/2015 restriction on setting the srtc but it seems anything before it
does *technically* change but is considered an invalid time when being read.

(this doesnt matter on devkit, only a minor annoyance on soft resets!)

upon running activate.vpk your activation data will be backed up to pd0:/data/ and ux0:/data/ its highly recommended to make a copy on your PC as well.

pd0:data/ because its read-only and it remains even after updating or reinstalling the firmware. basicly it would be difficult to actidently delete them
(note: the writing to pd0 is the reason for the 'brick' warning in vitashell-
you cant brick from modding pd0- it holds welcome park and music files and it
only adds extra files not changing anything thats on there)

NOTE: IF YOU USED THIS BEFORE ON 1.1 OR LOWER I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RUNNING IT AGAIN ON 1.2+

AS IT BACKS UP THE ACTIVATION TOKEN IN NVS AS WELL NOW. WHICH IS *REQUIRED* FOR A PROPER RESTORE OF ACTIVATION DATA.
(If you are missing NVS data but still have act.dat and actsig.dat- you can generate the NVS data with [act-gen-nvs](https://bitbucket.org/SilicaAndPina/gen-act-nvs/src/master/))
