Yes but I am taking summer classes and this eats up a lot of time and I'm waiting on some things to happen (EX: SP1, new laptop).
i was just asking if a permanent retail activator is possible then would it be meaningful to wait for 6 months?
No, it's not currently possible. I guess the way to do that is to correctly modify osppcvs.exe, but that's beyond my knowledge (or anyone that has tried it because there's NO retail Office activation anywhere). peace
I don't like that AutoKMS runs every day. I'd like to change the frequency in Task Scheduler but everytime AutoKMS runs the task is reset to it's default settings. Is there a way to activate Office automatically at a custom set time, e.g. every 179 days?
Currently not, but you can unistall AutoKMS and try manual activation every 179 days. We're working on having a setting that allows to define the frequency to daily, weekly or monthly. I might get more into that this weekend but CODYQX4 is busy in college. What is that about?
I may add a "separate" install option like the service that disables the other two and adds a new one with a specific name and is customizable but put it on the user to configure it.
Yes, but that would just install the AutoKMS right? However, IMHO the option for a frequency selection is both user intuitive and easy, so when EZ-Activator installs AutoKMS everything is setup up how the user wants.
No I mean use AutoKMS but with a different task. The service option uses AutoKMS but leaves it running as a service and starts it early. My custom task option would if enabled use the same means but leave the old tasks alone/disabled.
Well, that was a typo, I meant AutoKMS. But in general, I think it's more complicated that way and I've seen this asked before and I think it's not very hard to implement so I guess is an option to develop. We just have to keep in mind that too much customization can confuse the user
Yeah, idiot-proof is something really needed in software Let me know when you're off to work in the Toolkit
I'll try to do this this weekend but I'm getting a new laptop, and 2 are getting handed down. I have to setup all 3, but I think I'll implement a AutoKMS change.
Here is how it will work as opposed to trying to implement every possible combination of task users will want: I will add a new entry to "Activation Tools" Called AutoKMS Custom Task. Installing it will disable the old tasks and create a task called "AutoKMSCustom". I have to add a trigger in my code so I will set it to on boot. Once the install is complete, you open up the task scheduler, click properties, and you set whatever triggers you want, removing the startup default one if you want. You can do whatever you want to triggers, but leave other stuff alone. It must remain an XP task, but through the task scheduler interface you can customize to your will how it will run. I'd rather not reinvent the wheel by making my own task scheduler. Also, if "AutoKMSCustom" task exists, AutoKMS will skip the step where it remakes the normal tasks.
