    I just got a new Dell laptop with windows 8.1 with Bing already installed. Can I use this solution to activate Office 2013 Pro Plus? Also, is this strictly for use with making a pre activated iso of Windows 8.1 or can it be used on a running system. One more thing, after running the install.cmd and activating Office 2013 can the folder KMS-QADhook_Localhost_W62_W63w_KmsRenewalTaskLogon_O15w_Slipstream be deleted? Or does it have to reside on your computer for it to keep re activating Office 2013 at the specified interval? And what are the advantages of using this over say MTK or KMS Thanks, in advance.

    Thankyou XINSO, for the prompt reply. This tool is now my choice for activating Office 2013. And I like the cute part where you can delete the install folder. Thanks so much for putting so much effort and your time into this.

    Afaik the quote mark should be here:
    Code:
    set "SK=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform"
    else it becomes part of the value :g:.

    DIFFERENCE:

    Code:
    
    C:\Users\s1ave77\Desktop>set SK="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersi
    on\SoftwareProtectionPlatform"
    
    C:\Users\s1ave77\Desktop>echo %SK%
    "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform"
    
    C:\Users\s1ave77\Desktop>set "SK=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersi
    on\SoftwareProtectionPlatform"
    
    C:\Users\s1ave77\Desktop>echo %SK%
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

    By the way, Slave77.

    I found why Windows 10 TP displayed ERROR even it was indeed activated by KMS

    Windows\System32\sppwmi.dll

    Obviously M$ is doing some move to KMS algorithm.

    Yeah, discussed this with abbodi some days ago. WMI activation command prompts an error (Invalid Class) and so does slmgr.vbs although system got activated in latter scenario.

    It worked with build 9841, so let's wait what happens in next one :nsa:.


    Normally they implement those changes shortly before RTM and not that early.

    Thank you. But I am not good at posting ISO to share.

    It won't allow me to create link.

    Is this the download link?

    9879.0.141103-1722.fbl_release_CLIENTPRO_RET_x86fre_ja-jp.esd

    This will decrypt ESD and add QADhook?

    That means later make it into ISO, install, the OS will have it pre activated?

    Yes. That's how I meant it to be.

    And here's what I had in mind if you had interest in ESD Nin1:

    9879.0.141103-1722.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTPRO_RET_X86FRE_5IN1

    5 WIMs/ISOs in the very same language as 5 MUIs. But no QADhook.

    (For the new idea, the initial script hadn't been polished yet.)

    Yes. More than 10 GBs into less than 5 GBs. Ideal for storage and collection purpose.

    When I look at the download folder, I have a lot of xinso goodies and now I get confused.
    Let me know if it is correct

    QADhook is the method which run only when system needs it and will quit after it is done (aka permenant).

    Service is the same as QADhook but it runs all the time.

    QADhook and tasklogon also same as QADhook but will also activate on logon.
