News Guys, breaking news This time I hit the bull's eye. A new method that does not even need any changes to tokens.dat. No need to stop Office Software Protection Platform. No need to use some other versions token and much more but wait a while I gotta test it more before I post it here
Take your time and make it easy to use... And just sayin once its conformable and can be done over n over reliably post it... Good luck....
I think the problem u will have is that the Office protection service will get confused as to which one it actually is using and will revert back to its natural one which in this case is the retail version. I think you will be able to confirm this by rolling the date forward 34 days to see what happens and if it goes back to notifications mode. I think you best option is just to swtich the tokens.dat back n forth which will make life a little easier...
The registry is involved because the SKU is stored there as well... Thats why I was somewhat doubtful cause swtichin the tokens is not enough you have to switch the cache.dat as well and do some registry tweakin as well... And OSPP.VBS tweakin maybe as well...
What edition do you have on your computer? VL or Retail? No quite that much lucky. Update: Sorry, I did not read carefully. So you have VL installed. I see. Yes, I know if I uninstall my key, and then reinstall it, I don't need to go thru online activation again, because of info stored by OSPP. And even if i had to go thru online activation that was fine with me, coz once you activate a system with a key, you can activate it unlimited number oof time, unless in gets blacklisted by Microsoft. Anyway, If I uninstall retail key, office simply use VL key. And no reconfiguration process, coz I have VL registration info in my registry.
@bdjfreestyle: do have UAC turned on? Or tried run as administrator? After that, if still not working, try the original token instead of the mix token.
OK, guys. Remember the new method I was talking about. the one that does not need replacing tokens. And you can use your own token. Thou I am condicting more experiments at the moment but I felt like telling you that, since you can use your own token, you can add Project VL and Visio VL and every skuid that you wish. This method is sure the best, coz this is completely legal and no modification is involved. I'll post as soon as I confirmed it to be 100% working. Get your SKUID's ready!
