In my limited testing, I was only able to get a Retail copy (in OOB grace) to rearm once. I only got VL to rearm once as well. Retail in OOB grace will harass for activation a lot. Just as annoying as running VL in notification mode. Might as well just code an app to immediately dismiss notification mode notifications.
Form what I've heard from Masterdisaster his testing showed an average of 5-8 rearms and once evern 9 rearms so it's a flaw or something that causes the variance. I too have noticed the variance in testing. But that is not what is neccessarily important as is is there another way to use VL/Retail without activation or keygen. As you know I have an interest in bypassing activation with windows so an investigation as difficult as it may seem might prove to result in some information/script to not have to activate to use 2010. WinFLP has suggested just bypassing the activation nags altogether as I also remember way back in 2010 beta Hazar also doing an simple .bat file that enabled use without nags as they would usually be. Anyway it's kinda a neat topic to me and the keygen as good as it is has and is a pain sometimes so another concept for 2010 would be an good development to pursue if possible !
If Hazar keeps his creations/builds perhaps he could show us the code. I'm sure he'll remember what he did to the beta build. As far as a decision to kill nags or disable activation I like which other is lasting longer. I myself don't really care if title bar has some nag in it if like you said we can have alternative to activation yet full use. I have actually experienced all problems we've both helped troubleshoot with KMS activation. Sometimes it doesn't even make sense as to why keygen activation doesn't work but indeed sometimes it does not...lol I wanted IR4 to be developed for those who couldn't mod their BIOS like I can't mine and in case loaders we're found but with 2010 it would just be easier for user to not have to activate to use 2010. I am intereseted to whatever develops with the OfficeRearm or activation cancellation for 2010.
Hello all, I've been using office 2010 activated via Tuvi's hack (KMS). The prior discussions about rearms has made me wonder if I run the hack again after my grace period is up will I be using a rearm and thus lowering my remaining rearms? Thank You
Rearms are generally for when your having trouble activating. If you activated fine one time odds are you will the second time Good luck
any idea why no matter which activator i try incuding the bat file method fails because the KMS server couldent be found, get a message along the lines of ERROR CODE: 0xC004F074 ERROR DESCRIPTION: The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. W7 64, office pro 2010 32 and if you do know how do i fix it thanks (hopefuly)
yes allready tried that and get this Error: 0xc004fe00 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition the 'non core' message ?? hopefully you can tell me a way around this
From 4.5 in the repository: lose all Office applications. Open an administrator command prompt. Type: Code: sc stop osppsvc Leave the window open. Open up regedit and delete the key: Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform if you're running 32 bit office on 64 bit Windows. in the command prompt type: Code: sc start osppsvc Open up an office application like word. It will show a dialog repairing the installation. Let it finish. You may have to close,open and repair again. Try activating again.
thanks for the effort but unfortunately it did'nt work, tried it twice the second time deleting both reg entries. on the plus side this has pushed me into looking at alternatives to MS office, I've had a good play with thunderbird/lightning which is much better than i expected - might just dump outlook open office, I'll have a look at that next, but i just cant see myself using anything else other than excel - its just soooooo good so if anyone else has a suggestion to get office to activate - even if its just to keep my excel
Can anyone help me with the true information as does Office 2010 pro plus x86/x64 volume work on xp x86/x64 SP?, etc...
