    This relates to why I added logging to AutoRearm. Everyone who lost rearms did so by pressing Available, but AutoRearm install calls the same function and no report of lost rearms afterwards was reported. Thing is if you did lose them by installing AutoRearm, and didn't check yourself you wouldn't notice for 30 days.

    I never in testing lost installing but have lost checking, and once you realize you know nothing of what happened with AutoRearm.

    I only log action, if it just checks and sees you have too many days to bother doing anything it won't add to the log. It won't log until you get to 5 days so don't think it is broken logging.

    Never thought of it that way. I simply wanted AutoRearm to do as little work as possible. Of course if OSPPSVC decides all of a sudden it doesn't like the backup, office licensing is done and dead there, but I have yet to see this happen for a backup from the same OS/Format.

    Strangely AutoRearm seems faster/less resource-using than AutoKMS. While both are light, AutoKMS has to query the license database and operate on each license one at a time whereas once AutoRearm queries the next step (Rearm or Restore) covers everything.

    If you noticed instead of the old Hybrid task I now use a Hybrid Trigger task. I have one task but 2 triggers. I don't know how to/if possible this can be done via commandline but I like it

    Nice. I know that people gotta have KMS activation and you need it to restore rearms but AR/IORRT rule :p

    2.1.7 B1 is uploading. My connection is awful so link is posted but not up yet.

    Could use mirrors for 2.1.6 and 2.1.7.

    The whole point of this BETA is to test the "Available Rearms" function thoroughally, nothing else core has changed. If you aren't going to test that function and respond and/or you are happily activated (AutoKMS/AutoRearm are still 2.1.6), don't bother.

    @Bosh when I can get the 2.1.7 source up I'll PM you. I have UI plans for the Confirmation ID and Backup Key boxes.

    For the Confirmation ID box, I'd like the OID displayed in individual boxes that are read only, with no dashes. Also The CID would be similar but typable, with the letters A-H (easier to correspond from the phone) below them. Note that OID is one box longer than CID. These boxes could look a bit nicer/user friendly then now. I have at least made them stay centered (I hated having to look for MAK and then open the toolkit but the prompt is in the background, so I changed that).

    I'd like similar to the key box but the thing is that may make things harder. Most people paste their key, dashes and all. I'd like to hear some feedback on this. Of course, being able to paste into one box and the rest automagically end up in the other boxes could be nice.

    OK 2.17 B1 is up.
    @Bosh the source for it has been updated, last link was 2.1.3 and I've kept on to 2.1.6 source.

    It seems 2.1.6 has fixed the problems of AutoKMS.

    Available button also works fine and shows only 1 rearm in 2.1.7 B1.

    Did you installed AutoKMS or AutoKMS Service?
    AutoKMS Service is always running and it's used if you have a server that several hosts conects to, not for the home user.

    If you don't know which one you have installed, unistall AutoKMS, install the "AutoKMS" option and try again.

    Uninstall AutoKMS and install AutoRearm! You'll get same appearance and usage as activated with no KMS activation blah blah blah problems

    This will give you infinite grace with no nags
