    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 :rolleyes:

    The reason I make it idiot-proof by default. Only AV really can mess it up.

    Yeah, idiot-proof is something really needed in software :D

    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.

    This solution is pretty much what I am looking for. I'm looking forward to it.

    Hey guys, I tried activating office 2010 using ez activator beta 2.1.5 from here. office was activated but a trojan (Win32/Meredrop) was detected along with keygen.exe. MSE removed the trojan but I am worried and wondering from where did the trojan come?

    It's not a brain tumor/trojan. Imagine AV companies are in cahoots with MS and might flag falsly the aspects of Cody's toolkit to keep people like your self from using 2010 for free :p

    I want to see if I can consolidate the normal 2 AutoKMS/AutoRearm tasks. It is possible to add multiple triggers manually. If I can do this by code I can use one normal task and one custom task.

    EDIT: Worked greatly!

    Somehow I screwed up and have had Bosh building on V2.1.3 source, I am reforming a V2.1.5B plus Bosh changes, then I'll start working on new stuff.

    I will be ignoring the rearm check bug for now and focus on task and a few EZ-Activator error handling issues.

    I might stop injecting the PID via memory and just write it into the file because there have been new issues ever since I added PID fix that way.

    Well, I can re-do the changes in the latest source, but you need to give me a few days ;)

    Easier for me as I just overwrote it before I realized. What we lost was AutoKMS Service but I have re-added it already since I have latest AutoKMS source.

    UI is already readded, I just need to verify I put things back together properly.

    Remember to keep the sources from the previous build in branches.
    Like having a folder named "Toolkit Vault" (lol), and inside you have a .zip like "Toolkit Source 2.1.0 10-05-2010", etc, so we have some kind of branching for the releases in case we mess something up and there's a previous version that did work.

    PS: I put all of this in the thread and not by PM because I like to share knowledge to the comunity, even if this is something that almost anyone knows :shisha:

    AutoKMS implemention almost complete. I can't seem to make the old task disable so I think I'll just delete it if I can.

    V215 will be accessible when my pathetic UL at 10kb is done. Link will work then. Someone please datafilehost mirror it when you get it, I tried and it died.

    Changelog is now at the first post. Rare Rearm check bug has not been fixed yet.
