    Thank you very much for the explanation. I hope my problem is fixed now.

    You should consider adding this information to the front page. I searched everywhere before asking this but I didn´t find my answer. Especially in such a long thread.

    Thank you again!!

    Please make sure, if the following message appears in reliability history on Windows 7, is not the outcome of this precious activator. Even Though, I am properly shutting down Windows.

    Message: "Windows was not properly shut down"

    One more thing about this activator, what can I use all applications of the Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus (Retail) by using this activator?
    (Access, Excel, InfoPath Designer, InfoPath Filler, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, SharePoint Workspace, and Word)

    @CODYQX4 could u pls tell me wh did u say that ez-activator + retail is less cleaner than ez-activator + VL?

    Is there any downside doing so?

    Is the activator compatible with the sp1 integrated office 2010?

    I think he said once that you can tell office that's been converted vs. hasn't hence VL

    Yes SP1 works with Toolkit

    I personally don't like conversion myself, so I find VL to be a better option. In practice there is no difference.

    if ez-activator activates retail channel perfectly why do we need a VL version?

    It doesn't activate retail in the literal sense, it converts to VL and uninstalls Retail key.

    so it converts the installed retail base to volume and then does an autokms!!!

    Is there any downside of doing this way compared to direct autokms on volume? Thank you sooooo much for the reply...

    The downside of conversion is you have to install extra licenses and registry entries. The extra licenses can make license checks slower if you have a lot of office stuff installed (But I'm talking more than ProPlus+Visio+Project). The thing is if MS wanted to flag conversion, which is doubtful as it is legit looking as opposed to a frankenbuilded OS, that it would be easy to figure out. You can tell by the uninstall entry and various places that office is retail. Note that I can convert yet when I do license repair I repair the original not the conversion.

    It's just cleaner when it comes down to efficiency, and prevents the very unlikely chance MS would flag conversions (they dropped OGA even, in the midst of my conversion technique being out and the release of AR being the only other technique which is not activation in the first place).

    PS: A thing that is bad to convert is the HB, HS or Pro SingleImage, as they install a crapload of licenses, and you have to convert that to Pro Plus. OSPPSVC is quite slow and likes to use up 99% CPU when querying licenses, so this is a scenario where conversion is a slowness factor as opposed to have just installed Pro Plus VL.

    Cody,

    ESET smart security 4 flags the "autokms"; after using your great tool I found that the AV flags the generated KMS as a virus and tries to delete it. Is there a way to heal this other than AV exclusion?

    Edit: What files exactly should I exclude?

    Are they:

    - C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\vbc.exe
    - C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe

    Please exclude vbc.exe

    Well, the AutoKMS also reallocate the resources in the memory ...

    Thank you Josh for your reply.

    sorry for my stupid question, am I right to exclude (1)- vbc. exe (found here - C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\vbc) and (2)- AutoKMS.exe (found here - C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe)?

    Or exclude just vbc. exe?

    You're using Microsoft Toolkit or Office Toolkit ?
