AutoKMS just reactivates your Office every time it's ran, unistalling it just removes the auto-activating feature of the Toolkit (it removes AutoKMS.exe, KMSEmulator.exe and the AutoKMS scheduled task).
yes, this is ok, I know this. But today, 6 march, 3 days after the installation, if I uninstall AutoKMS I come back into OfficeProPlus Retail with 30 days grace, or 27 days grace or 0 days grace or what? The uninstall process reset the token or change it?
Well we both we're having ideas about the Rearm concept so not much difference. His is written in C# and mine cmd line. Mine is more automated just daily or at boot restore/rearm from backup. His thinks does autorearm need to restore/rearm yet as to avoid, through cody's perspective, unnecessary restoring/rearming til the last moment I too think the daily/boot task is best but both work as long as Autorearm restores/rearms before nags present themselves
I think I just figured things out for you guys Seems the restore from backup is 100% so How bout my idea of activating once with KMS and keygen then at interval of your choicing (startup) just restore from backup done right after activation is confirmed. Then you'll only have to run keygen once and no firewall permission or Av issues again if user changes AV or whatever dude. Also you can delete keygen and keygen accessories after initial one time activation is confirmed...lol That is good idea of combination of KMS/Restore And you would probably only need one task if you got 6 months to restore/rearm ...lol So basically your guaranteeing re-activation without AV flags infinitely instead of there being any chance of not reactivating My gift to you ...lol Also I noticed that you choice the wording activation for when deciding on AutoKMS or Autorearm when autorearm doesn't have anything to do with activation Then you could have the first Hybrid Activation/Backup/Restore solution in the world which I think people would be happy with In essence you woudn't even need Autorearm although I don't discourage Autorearm which works fine I'm sure Now you just gotta figure out how to avoid error Phazor did via running in memory and you got best KMS setup available plus your massive tookit for almost every aspect of office Just two ideas I thought you might enjoy Captains log ...lol
I had used Toolkit 2.0 and just ran the beta and although the Office components still say they are activated, the "check" feature in Toolkit reports Visio Premium has a problem, but Visio itself reports "activated": --------------------------------------- SKU ID: 36756cb8-8e69-4d11-9522-68899507cd6a LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeVisioPrem-MAK LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, RETAIL channel LICENSE STATUS: Unlicensed ERROR CODE: 0xC004F014 --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- SKU ID: e558389c-83c3-4b29-adfe-5e4d7f46c358 LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeVisioPro-KMS_Client LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: Unlicensed ERROR CODE: 0xC004F014 --------------------------------------- Any thoughts on what I could do to correct this? I don't want to deactivate Visio Premium and not be able to reactivate it. Thanks.
Restoring won't help for KMS. You could activate then backup but the restore would have no effect on the count. Restoring does not change the count. The reason restore allows for AutoRearm technique is because the registry saves the rearm count. You can take a 180 day backup, wait till it gets to 175 but restoring won't change the fact that you still have 175 days.
Show the full count, if it says in Office that it's activated then it's activated. The "Unlicensed" are license types you don't have a key installed for. If you activated Visio Premium KMS then that is activated, what you show is Visio Premium MAK and Visio Professional KMS. These are 2 different licenses/product key types you can install. I display output such that the activated stuff is at the top (I append Unlicensed to the bottom, if "Verbose Check Setting" is enabled).
I think you might have missed what I was saying 1. You activate with keygen 2. Upon activation confirmation you backup 3. Instead of having autoKMS and emulator on system you create task to restore instead of being dependent on KMS or keygen ever again...lol 4. You could do it at startup then you'd be fine with in a 6 mo period 5. You only need keygen for the initial activation then form their no AV flag stuff on system just backup and task Make sense Edit: lol...Ok I see what your saying well it was worth a try Are you sure it won't go back to 180 upon restore?
The reason I use the 5 day remaining check is to allow you to dow what you are suggesting. You already can KMS activate once, and install AutoRearm and it take 175 days for the first rearm/restore to occur. Subsequent rearms would be 30 but what you suggest is already possible if you install AutoRearm when successfully KMS Activated. The ideal state of 180 days + 5 rearms (150+180 days) could work and you could reactivate manually. This is why I don't trigger AutoRearm unless 5 days or less remain as I let the KMS or Trial or Subscription or whatever count run down to a low level first. PS: 5 days is an arbitrary number (I could and should and probably will make it 1 day since I picked 5 days before the Hybrid Task idea), it shouldn't nag at this point. If someone can confirm that there is a point at which in the grace does nag then verify first and let me know. Keep in mind retail ALWAYS nags, so you need VL/KMS, which should not nag until you hit 0 days. It may be a while but I'll released a fixed AutoRearm in a second BETA, otherwise testing of other things is recommended. The main bugs seem to be resolved, and the "Unlicensed" is NOT a bug it is simply extra info, so other than AutoRearm things seem solid, but I need more time/info to tell.
Ok I thought I had stumbled onto something new but if count lessens then restore is useless in an activated state hence only grace state can facilitate restoring I tried...lol
Sorry, you are correct. I must have been too tired to notice that the proper installation was activated: --------------------------------------- SKU ID: 92236105-bb67-494f-94c7-7f7a607929bd LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeVisioPrem-KMS_Client LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: Activated ERROR CODE: 0 as licensed Last 5 characters of installed product key: WX8BJ REMAINING GRACE: 179 days (258060 minute(s) before expiring) ---------------------------------------
Yea that is what I got also so 5 day til is no longer arbitrary but I already told cody this 3 months ago...lol
And speaking about tolding things, there has been very few feedback from users (in proportion to downloads). I can think of 2 reasons: 1. The Beta was released with almost zero errors (yeah right) 2. The link was shared in other places and the users never get to know where to ask Anyway, just a comment since this thread seems to be lacking user feedback
Banned for tolding things ...lol Funny too is you guys have so many link dl's so thanks to who responds if they do ...lol
OK I have confirmed that when the count drops to 4 days, a nag does appear and so I will keep the 5 days as it will prevent ever getting 4 days.
Backups and Rearm count was screwed up for me on my PC for BETA 1 but it seems I have made it solid, and I tested AutoRearm by installing, stopping OSPPSVC, changing date, starting OSPPSVC, checking to make sure I had 5 days left (you get nags at 4), then run AutoRearm task and it did what it did. I didn't test it by rebooting but it should work then, which the tester said it ran but did nothing (I couldn't personally confirm they had 5 days or less but they said they did). BETA 2 will drop in a few minutes, and I've disabled Verbose Check Activation by default (turn it on if you have conversion issue to troubleshoot). I removed the "Permissions Fix" in repair for now because I can't confirm if it helps (I have never seen anyone report the issue after repair), or it it was making things worse but it seems unnecessary. Please provide feedback on the BETA.
