    I'll take a look at that code today when I'm home. Maybe it's easier to solve than we thought :D

    With all the refinements being given the Toolkit, I'm baffled as to why the single biggest problem - being flagged as a virus/trojan in numerous AV programs - isn't being addressed at all. Are there any plans on modifying AutoKMS or KMSEmulator so that Norton, BitDefender, McAfee, ESET, Panda, Malwarebytes, Webroot (Sophos) and probably others, don't recognize this as a virus/trojan? Having virtually any of the well-known AV programs recognizing these files as being infected keeps Toolkit from reaching its potential, since I think many people are leery when virtually any AV program sees the same problem. On the other hand, is this just a cat-and-mouse game with the AV programs? Thanks.

    That's because I send all "Temp" backups to the temp folder now. (As in %TEMP%\Backups\TempBackupName).

    Language/Architecture are irrelevant.

    Yes, we really can't totally solve it. If they want to flag us they will. The newer KMSEmulator and AutoKMS were getting free passes with my NIS but it seems like that is ending. The FP rate on Virustotal has radically gone down but its the popular AV's doing most of the flagging.

    Yes, it's a cat and mouse thing. AutoKMS has been flagged, changed to a non flagged state, flagged again, and so on. We tried but the AVs always flag our latest version within a couple of weeks, and there are some parts of the code that can't be changed enough to don't seem as a threat because we have to do things in the system.

    Hope it's clear why it

    I've been debugging the rearm thing, and it seems any of my theories do get handled.

    If the backup is gone it says it is gone, meaning you lose your rearms but an error is shown. If the restore fails and it has to restore back, it shows the error.

    Why people are losing their rearms when restore succeeds is strange, but I have a feeling OSPPSVC or something doesn't time right.

    Do note that I determine a failed restore by having a "Broken" office. A restore not going through all the way, and leaving the system as is, would then check and see office is not "Broken" but in grace.

    Though it is really hard for me to detect success in this case without a second rearm check (as you could have been fresh when you did the check).

    Can someone with the rearm issue do the following:

    Take a state where you have KMS activated and you know you have 5 rearms (If you have done a repair+reactivate, you should be good). Take a backup named PreTest, then run the Available, if it says 5 rearms but you check and you are in grace, take a Backup named PostTest. If you have both backups, send me both of them zipped up. I'm trying to see if some of the backup is restoring.

    My theory is OSPPSVC interfering somewhere and it not getting detected (Registry most likely as it seems to catch files pretty well).

    Your tokens.dat is the same but cache.dat isn't and neither is the registry.

    I'm adding more specific detection to backup/restore and I'd like someone getting AutoKMs null error to try V2.1.5 when I finish it.

    A changelog would be great.

    I'm still using Mini KMS activator v1.072fixed because I don't really know if CODY's KMS emulator has been improved over that or if it's just the original ZWT emulator without changes.

    It's hard to justify changing to another program if you just don't know what it does!

    Regards.

    It's in the readme, but I think I may start posting just the changelog at the first post.

    Thanks!

    I've just seen the readme (it's inside the executable, I hadn't thought of that, doh!). But I cannot figure out how to install a KMS server using this.

    Does this tookit offer that functionality (installing a KMS server to handle activation requests from other clients in the network) ??

    Kind regards.

    No, it currently does not, but you can just copy the KMSEmulator.exe and run in from a cmd in the server machine

    Do you know how to run keygen,exe in RAM? Can you implement it in your program to get rid of the AV's problems?

    thank you.

    Antivir scan RAM, run keygen.exe in RAM = problems.

    Yes, that might help with the problems, but have had no luck yet, we found a way in which .NET supports running a resource without writing it to disk but it needs to be a .NET executable. So until we find a way to do that, we're unable to address the AV's problems :D

    Been following parts of the thread and jumping around a little but struggling to find answers to my problem, but maybe it's because I've a distinct lack of technical ability.

    I simply cannot get anything to work..... my main problem is that I get ther error "no installed product keys detected"... I'm pressing repair, activate,,, and more but getting nowhere.

    The problem being is that whatever I did has given me no rearms and I cannot get passes the notifaction screen whatever I open. At least before this I had a read only view of some files...

    An idiots guide would be helpful or a pointer to the correct thread posts that could guide me through some troubleshooting methods.

    thanks

    First of all, to provide help it would be useful if you give more information about your setup, for example:
    - Windows version (7, Vista, XP)
    - Office product (Professional Plus, Visio, etc) and license type (Retail, Volume)

    Just by guessing your problem, you can use the "Key Management" Tab for that, select the Office product and license type of you installation and install the key. After that you can proceed with EZ-Activator.

    If it doesn't work then give us the info to continue helping ;)

    Thanks for the reply...

    I'm on Win7, Office Professional and retail and it came pre-installed on the PC.

    I tried the "Key Management "tab which I assume is the Product Keys tab, I'm selecting Retail and Professional from the choices, clicking install but keep getting "product key installation failed" message. When I click on "Check" it gives various info including a product key, validity etc...

    thanks again
