Pretty much ya if all of the rearms are gone before the user makes the backup the backup wouldn't restore any rearms would it?
I will attempt to restore backup after I've used up all rearms! MasterDisaster suggested I dl ospprun.exe from technical preview in an attempt to see how many rearms are left I think? So right now your .exe does back up and restoring or just rearming? Can you explain in step by step process...lol @CODYQX4 Are you also suggesting perhaps updating the restore? Meaning which back up will be considered the original? Edit: Also I would like to have separate attempt at a program for this thread in combination with it being an addition to your program just so the rearm office can be a seperate entity as well as your tool being an "command center " for office 2010
I think I am starting to understand a good approach to the logic behind the scripting 1. So first back up without checking for rearms which we can't do just record them after restore we attempt an rearm 2. Then if can't rearm restore then set task to rearm every 30 days then if can't rearm repeat process with temp files for determining how many rearms have passed and any pass fails, etc... Did I get that right? Thank you Edit: But if we can restore is there any real reason to to run out the rearms?
@CODYQX4 Do you think that there could be a backup (the tokens + OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform) that could be used generically in conjunction with the .bat/.exe program so that people don't have to have clean install of office 2010 or is it tied down to date/time, machine, etc...? So it'd be included in program without the initial rearms being present? Thank you
So would this work with just 1 rearm left and the back up works with that then checks to see if it rearms if not then restores then rearms so this is kinda like my question before regarding should we use up all rearms and finally does there have to be at least 1 rearm left for this to work without people clean installing office? There is certainly a few parameters for this to work 1. They have to have rearms at least one to do back up? 2. If task is the trigger for some file to run to back up rearm if no rearm restore then rearm then wait 30 days 3. And a place to keep data/actual back ups, etc... 4. This is going to be tricky...lol
Thanks for your time and participation with this it is really helpful and fun to investigate as a new approach to having an activation bypass
We got IR4 to not have nags with simple registry setting Code: REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation" /v NotificationDisabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f I guess I'd have to consider if IR4 is also activation bypass since we actually never get to activation to bypass it. Hence pre-activation use...lol I am not certain the nags with office. I can test or maybe someone might already know?
Tried back up with CODYQX4 toolkit and then rearmed like 4 times. I think I used up 2 rearms prior to testing so I had 5-6 initial rearms then restored backup then rearmed 4 times then repeated many times and worked every time so we need script to do this automatically 1. Backup 2. rearm until no more then failed msg triggers restore 3. Then rearm again and process repeats And like CODYQX4 says there must be atleast 2 rearms for this to work. The back up takes some time so a msg to "please wait" would be nice and a task to initiate .bat file to run that runs if, then, else, etc... Edit: I'm thinking we just back up as long as there's at least 2 rearms left hopefully then rearm once then 30 days later restore again so no extensive multiple rearms and based on restoring. So the code could be easier than basing the decisions on whether it rearmed or not. Just restore then rearm then 30 days later restore again and so on... What do you think? Not sure retail and nags scenario regarding grace period...lol I'm guessing this might be possible to put this all in task as things to run although I'm only able to think about putting .bat file with code somewhere that task would call to run as admin I must have done this like 10 times in a row so it's working right now Testers: Can anyone who's used retail copies in the 30 day grace period tell us if you get nags while in the 30 days? @CODYQX4 Does this code of a past thread by USB3 back up exactly what you do extra, less? Code: @echo off set ScriptPath=%~dp0 set Check1=%programfiles%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs set Check2=%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs color A title Backup/Restore Office 2010 Activation 1.0 By USB 3 :Menu echo 1. Backup echo 2. Restore echo 3. Check Activation Status echo 4. Exit echo. set /p choice= Choose: if '%choice%'=='1' goto :Backup if '%choice%'=='2' goto :Restore if '%choice%'=='3' goto :ActCheck if '%choice%'=='4' Exit :Backup cls net stop osppsvc mkdir "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup\Activation Files" mkdir "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup\Registry" XCOPY /Y /S /I "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform" "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup \Activation Files" REG EXPORT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup\Registry/Office1.reg" REG EXPORT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup \Registry/OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform1.reg" REG EXPORT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup \Registry/Office2.reg" > nul 2>&1 REG EXPORT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform "%ScriptPath %Activation Backup\Registry/OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform2.reg" > nul 2>&1 net start osppsvc pause cls goto :menu :Restore cls net stop osppsvc XCOPY /Y /S /I "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup/Activation Files" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%/Microsoft \OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform" REG IMPORT "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup\Registry\Office1.reg" REG IMPORT "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup\Registry\Office2.reg" > nul 2>&1 REG IMPORT "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup\Registry\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform1.reg" REG IMPORT "%ScriptPath%Activation Backup\Registry\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform2.reg" > nul 2>&1 net start osppsvc pause cls goto menu :ActCheck cls if exist "%Check1%" cscript "%Check1%" /dstatus if not exist "%Check1%" cscript "%Check2%" /dstatus pause cls goto menu If so or not what is the .bat equivalent to what your toolkit back up and thus restore? Thanks
i wonder if daz knows a way to bypass office 2010 activation. he did it for windows 7. this time, can he inject something into other things to permanently activate office 2010?
Windows has a weakness,with the OEM-SLP keys, SLIC 2.1 and certificates. It's seems like Office 2010 do not have a such weakness. Beside the KMS activation then, but that is not a permanently activation.
I would call it semi-permanent...lol Since if that task is working and your comp is on to re-activate you can in theory be activated all the time assuming everything goes smoothly But in this thread we're trying to cover the possibilities regarding any other options besides KMS to use office 2010
It's off the rearming topic, but has anyone any idea of what smorgan was doing (if he spoke the thruth)? He said he was up to a permanent office activation, but something was in the way. His method however worked for windows 7. The big problem is that he never made his method public and never really shared info or said something specific about how it works. And now he left MDL so... But if he really had a method and we can find what he found maybe we can make it work. Smorgan did it alone and we are with many.
