"Office 2010 Retail/Volume Project to bypass activation without KMS/keygen?"

lol..."whatever" is what we might get but I'm here to support and test if necessary just to explore the possiibility and the thread has been fun so-far and isn't that what it's all about right

 

I'm just about ready to reinstall office again. But you say there is an alternative? I mean I just installed it and it's never been activated and no rearms run nor can they. It's just stuck. You know yesterday I thought we maybe had something. It was restoring and rearming till out then restore but with having office need to be activated to rearm at all makes no sense. Glad you did a really good job with KMS but still hope to see some creativity if it comes about until then "whatever" is fine with me...lol

Your toolkit, Phazors and MD's script with keygen work great just had some curiosity about any other options

 

I will try again but pretty sure it has to be activated. Maybe there is a registry setting that could fool office into thinking it was activated only to be able to rearm the first time. Have you tried it more than once?

 

And one of the possible benefits of using a non-KMS deal is no more flagging by AV and putting keygen into quarentine, etc...lol

So yea it's at a standstill right now.

 

Too bad the rearm concept won't work until activated...lol I would like to have done a console for that

I think we had everything

All guided by 30 day task to check if rearm happen if not restore

And here was some code given to me by MD that would have done the .bat file if/else

Code:

call :rearm
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (
call :restore
) ELSE call :rearm

Just activated 2010 then did restore then ran out 5 rearms 10 times with no errors so I think it would go forever if I kept on restoring

What type of file is the restore stored in? Cause I remember CODYQX4 saying that it was HW specific related + or something? Meaning we couldn't just create generic restore file to import or something?

It wouldn't be too hard to make an console to do what I laid out. Of course it would be pre-activated dependent but would simply install task to trigger every 30 days a .bat file with the code of MD's plus the actual code to restore that would be called again by MD's code or a rearm.

So in combination with the code on the first post you'd have console that would install a hidden .bat file in say c:\ then a task to run that .bat file that does IF rearm ELSE restore then rearm

So components would be:

1. Console to have selection to install task and .bat file in c:\ as well as uninstall choice which deletes task and .bat file

Plus way and place to put restored files

Sounds kinda easy but sadly it's already been stated you'd have to be activated which defeats the purpose...lol

Bummer OR4 is dead in the womb ...lol

 

So any testers out there with first time installation test that rearming works first time without activation

It sounds kinda unrealistic for use though if people need first time installation to work correctly. That would be hard to support

 

Do you mean the first time office is installed and opened you can rearm without it ever being activated?

And can we restore without being activated? Cause we need to restore first thing when there are rearms left
