Hi CODYQX4, i would like too know, will your 2.0 version still have the backup/restore feature? If so, would it be possible to restore backed up files from a previous installation too a fresh windows 7 install and have it activated?
Having issues with the final step. I uninstalled my retail version as suggested, used the cleanup tool found on these boards, acquired the english x86 VL version available on the mydigitallife post (since the channel switcher doesn't work on Homke & Business versions), installed it as ProPlus with only the applications I need (Excel, Word, PowerPoint + tools) and try to ran option 2 of your tool. I always get the same error as previously (ERROR CODE: 0x8007000D). Any inisght ? edit : I used the tool to clean up all activation data, let office repair itself (needed 2 times), it then entered notification mode and then option 2 worked. Thanks.
Thanks for answering my questions I really appreciate it. Anyways, I just checked my Task Scheduler and for AutoKMS, it read: The Task Scheduler service attempted to run the task, but the task did not run due to one of the constraints in the task definition. (0x80041324) Is this going to be a problem or should I just wait until the next start up?
@snargaluff: If you're activated then you don't need to worry about that since you have 180 days to reactivate again, you can run the task whenever you want. However, if that problem persists let us know
@file1854: Yes, the activator creates a scheduled task that runs AutoKMS at startup. We're considering the posibillity to let the user select the periodicity in 2.0, but he haven't decide it yet.
But if I prefer not using AutoKMS and do it manually every 180 days? And will it work if I run it in sandboxie?
I just tried the activator and boy did it take a really long time but indeed it worked fine. Did it also set the host name and key? They were already set so that's why I asked. So all it did was communicate to office to activate and set task? I'm just going to activate manually every 180 days just curious though all it did Thank you
No it doesn't set hostname, Any activation I make adds and removes it as needed (You probably checked while AutoKMS was running). Also its slow because for VL it tires to install all known KMS keys. I'll make 2.0 EZ-Activator smarter than that.
Maybe you could put a msg "this may take a couple minutes" so people will know what to expect til your next build. So no host name installed but what does this mean Thanks
Setting the KMS Host name is one value in the registry. I add it before trying to activate and once done I remove it.
Can you show me the cmd to set and remove value and also can you tell me the cmd to check office activation status And is there one rearm cmd? What is that cmd please Thanks
you run cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:127.0.0.1 to add host or /remhst to remove it. ospp.vbs is were office is installed. There is a ospprearm.exe in Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform. run it is cmd to rearm.
Do you mean cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:127.0.0.1 (install) and cscript ospp.vbs /remhst:127.0.0.1 (remove) cause right now I use this to set host cscript %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\OFFICE14\OSPP.VBS /sethst:localhost and was there a status cmd besides having to open word and check activation meaning how can I check how many days are left Thank you
Yes, and its cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus that will tell you the activation info/days left. If you'd like to learn more about Office activaion, I recommend reading the code in the toolkit batch and seeing how it all works.
Thanks I think I remembered it was a .bat file but forgot. I will go look at it now and I really appreaciate your training and such. Thanks
