    Hi CODYQX4,

    i used Office 2010 Toolkit v2.1.4 in two different ways:

    way 1:
    i start the Office Toolkit 2.1.4.exe, make my settings for example changing the path of kmsemulator.exe or delete keygen after run, etc.
    --> Install successfully with my custom settings.

    way 2:
    i start the Office Toolkit 2.1.4.exe, make my settings for example changing the path of kmsemulator.exe or delete keygen after run, etc.
    then i used Toolkit over cmd with /EZ-Activator switch (my preconfigured Settings.ini is in same directory as Toolkit.exe) and here, my custom Settings.ini is ignored.
    My custom Settings.ini will be overwritten with your default settings or will be ignored completly.

    is that a bug or did i something wrong?

    I'll have to look at the switch, though I'm pretty sure it isn't setup to use it in switching mode so that's why it's ignored.

    are you looking forward to make custom settings.ini available in switching mode?

    Yeah I can enable it. Just note that defaults are best for integrated ISO's since if they are burned to disk you can't change the ini, and the defaults cover the most things.

    yeah i know that but it is more flexible if you activate it. this option is only used if someone knows what he is doing and forces the toolkit to take other settings. so i dont think it makes problems if you activate it...


    what are the plans for future development? any improvements or new features?

    what is the best switch if i want to activate office only once and then leave no traces back on harddisk? First /EZ-Activator and then /AutoKMS for uninstall?

    First of all, there's no permanent activation of Office yet, since the Volume (KMS) editions needs reactivation every 180 days. And don't get me wrong but what you're asking sounds like you charge for reformat + W7 & Office installation. I know because I do this but for free :D

    If it's for personal use and you can add the files to the AV's exceptions then I see no problem in using the Toolkit and leaving the files there. This problem has arosen with Daz's loader, but again, we do not want to support cons :)

    i asked that because i wont get av alert by using autokms every bootup. one time for first install it is ok to deaktivate AV temporaly. then office can run 180 without interaction.
    i excluded the files with symantec endpoint protection but however sometimes i get a av thread, dont know why...

    what du you mean with "do not want to support cons?"

    It's well known that swindlers sell non legit DVDs to people, and use some of the activation solutions available to do that (that's why Daz's loader sets an advise if you use it to preactivate W7 DVD). You can install it and unistall it and use manual activation after 180 days, but the Toolkit is not what you could call con-efective as it gets detected by AVs, lol :D

    I didn't mean to offend you (it was for everyone to read :))

    We should ban integration here at MDL

    It causes nothing but harm and disrespect that we're part of making money off MS

    well... TS... even if i could agree with your second sentences, i really think that there's a "reverse side" if Forums would act like you said...

    As long as ppl will have easy access to infos about creating their own Activated DVD copy, maybe they "EVEN" could understand that a 20 $ cost
    for a Win7 Ultimate it's not so "original" like they could think if those kind of info would be banned... Don't you think ?

    :cool:

    Yea your throwing a little reverse psychology at me and it worked so we'll just accept and define good people from bad people who sell this s**t to prosper. Maybe they need cheeseburger and fry and who am I to stop them FTW

    It didn't work so well on me, just think that most of the people who buys this DVDs are not computer enthusiasts, so probably most of them are not aware of how to activate windows, they just see it as a TV with a keyborad.

    I bet most of the conned (does that word even exists?) people are the ones that don't even have a clue that MDL (or sites alike) exist.

    At least the fact that KMS is good for 180 days and leaves an activator to make it appear "permanant" is easier to detect. I honestly couldn't tell a legit OEM activation vs a BIOS modded PC easily, but no normal user should even have a KMS'd disc given it is corporate activation (companies usually use MAK for PCs that leave the company so that isn't a possible cause for KMS).

    Given that AV would complain about AutoKMS, the seller would have to do the install for the user and exclude it in their AV for the user to not notice. If I bought a Office 2010 disc, and my AV alerted my, I'd be very concerned, probably more so if I was less technically minded as I'd probably panic more vs instantly knowing how to respond.

    So then Autorearm is better? And it could easily be intergrated?

    It can be called by switch but it doesn't even "Activate" so it is even more obvious. I convert to VL also so it would have KMS Key + infinite grace in addition to the fact an activation tool would be installed.

    I haven't bothered too much with special countermeasures because the signs of integration fraud are easily ID'd vs a loaderless OEM activation (Everyone I've installed Win 7 for has had PC new enough that they had SLIC 2.1 or BIOS update from OEM added it officially, the other people had PC's so old that Vista/7 was too much and I put XP on it).

    If a bought office disc is KMS activated or in grace forever (a quick check in any office app shows it isn't activated but in grace regardless of the fact there are no nags), it is obvious sign someone checking the PC could see that knows what to look for.
