    Then things are going to be a LOT easier from now on. Make sure you install IR4 when your comp will be on so the rearm task will run. In fact you no longer need to restart with IR4 for 30 day rearming.

    Take care ;)

    Hi,

    First thank you for this wonderful tool.

    I have one concern... if someone forgets to reinstall this tool after 120 days per the instructions (or if the monthly rearm task fails), what exactly happens to the computer?

    I was under the assumption that Windows 7 will not login after a trial period has ended.

    thanks.

    If you miss task or forget to reinstall windows gives msg and you just click rearm or reinstall no problem. Just install when comp will be on.

    You can login.

    So if you pass 30 days and your comp was off win7 will give msg then just rearm

    Same thing if you miss reinstalling

    Kinda simple actually

    Glad to hear that. Did you use the win 7 in my torrent?

    Quick question - just restarted. AVG is flagging a 'Multiple threat detection' at c:/Windows/KMService.exe

    Is that a legitimate file or something left over from an unsuccessful attempt at activating? (not one of yours I'm pleased to say!). If so, can I delete?

    Thanks again...

    It's from mini-KMS or other Office activator.

    The activator in my Office torrent leaves no files or anything!

    So you had already installed stuff right away after installing my win 7? or we're you using another win 7. I'm confused :confused:

    Sorry - should explain...

    I had lots of attempts at activating Office with no luck at all. I then used yours and it worked like a dream.

    After I'd activated Office, I installed your Win 7 as an upgrade and activated perfectly first time - haven't had to reinstall any software at all.

    Can I safely remove KMService.exe now? Like you say, your torrent didn't leave any trace.

    I tend to go with activation bypass stuff or stuff you have to re-activate every 6 months so with most other popular Office activators they set up a task or service to, I think, silently automatically activate for you so you don't have to do manually. It only takes like seconds to reactivate office so it's no big deal for most.

    Yes you can delete that and also look for keygen maybe in the office program folder in the office 14 folder. I forget where mini-KMS puts stuff...lol

    I have just noticed that on my 'Properties' section under 'Computer', Windows states that I have '25 days to activate'. Is this correct as I only activated it last week and thought that this would only have to be done every 6 months? Am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance
