Please give us more information about what you exactly do. What version of Office you want to activate? How do you use the tool? ...etc. Edit: Better to give some screen shots.
Failed to save key Thanks for the great tool, I am using it for month now. Yesterday I have got a problem when I was using "License Backup" Function in OTK2010V23. The license I am using for Office 2010 is a MAK one, it is activated. Now I am trying to backup with the option "save keys", but it then asked the key with the hint of last 5 digits of the key. I entered the correct key, but in the console window I saw something like failed to save keys. On the other machine I have no problem to back with key saving. The keys.ini is created and no key was asked during backup. I tried to create the keys.ini on the problem machine after backup with "failed to save keys" message. Then tried to restore the license, it seems to work though... Some bug here?
Try Microsoft Toolkit, I think it is likely a bug, but you need the key when restoring after reformat.

Most likely your tokens are in a bad state due to permissions, and I could not convert/uninstall old key. You want to do a license repair with latest Microsoft Toolkit, which is in a different topic, and then reinstall that trial key, then run EZ-Activator.
i've just used Toolkit & EZ Activator 223 on my fresh Win 7 x64, with Office 2010 (with Project & Visio). And i wanted to say Thankyou. I teach software for a living, and i couldnt do it without the likes of you. However, are you aware of an irritating bug. After using the Toolkit, its no longer possible to create new user accounts (standard or admin) correctly. when you try to logon as the new user, errror message appears "\systemprofile\Desktop is not available" I've tried every fix i read, but no good. I just tried a rebuild and all is good until i active Office, then new user accounts are all screwed again. (no other software. just win7 and office. more info available if you want) Thanks again.
Never seen that, can you and someone else confirm this occurs, and do so with the updated Microsoft Toolkit.
Yesterday i tried another laptop. Also Win7 x64, office 2010. Same toolkit. Same problem. no amount of rebooting or scandisks fixed it. Laters i'll try the new Toolkit on a VirtualBox Win7 x64. I also tried on a test server... Windows Server Enterprise 2007 sp2 32bit Office 2010 Pro Plus v14.0.6106.5005 32bit Logged in as Me (administrator) Toolkit & Ez Activator 223 - default settings. all good created NewUser, logged off. Logged on as NewUser, error message, pc reboots Upon 2nd reboot the new user account seems to be fine. (and office is activated). Error msg is "cmd.exe - application error. The app failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)." I have a simple mapping script in the startup folder, which i think this relates to. In the System logs....... 1074) The process AnyDVD Leftover Killer 1.5.exe has initiated the restart of computer W8 on behalf of user W8\c for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found Reason Code: 0xffffffff Shutdown Type: restart (which is odd as i havent used that prog for months, its not even on the pc, nor mentioned in the registry.) 26) Application popup: cmd.exe - Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click OK to terminate the application. 1074) The process C:\Windows\system32\winlogon.exe (W8) has initiated the restart of computer W8 on behalf of user W8\c for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found Reason Code: 0x500ff Shutdown Type: restart Hope this helps. Can you point me to some text explaining how to remove/undo all changes made by this toolkit. I'd like to try new toolkit faster than reimaging/new virtualbox. Thanks if you can.
Well the thing is does little change. It can change the license state of office which cannot be unchanged but this doesn't seem like it effects this case. The only other thing OTK changes is it installs AutoKMS.exe/ini/log and Scheduled Tasks, which are 100% removed if you install AutoKMS. If anything is causing an issue, may be the task. I don't see anything in your log that connects to my tool.

As far as I know and tested, you should exclude the following files from scanning in ESS: (1)- vbc. exe (found here - C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\vbc) (2)- AutoKMS.exe (found here - C:\Windows\AutoKMS\AutoKMS.exe) Hope this helps.
Hi fellow tech guys, this is my first post here. To make a long story short, I had Office 2010 Home and Student Trial installed on my PC, then I uninstalled it, ran the Microsoft FixIt 50450 (Remove Office) and tried to install Office 2010 Professional Plus. During the installation appeared an error message that read: Error 25004: The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. This is most likely due to previous Office 2010 trials being installed. It seems that the PC remembers that they was Office already installed and it won't let me install it again. I was googling to find an answer but every solution that I found eventually lead to an OS reinstall which is something I want to avoid at any cost. There are way too many editions, versions and licences of Office 2010 and I lost track what are the differences. Can someone please tell me if there is ANY version of Office 2010 which can be installed on this PC? Thank you
You can try my Office Uninstaller but those trials tend to screw up the registry so bad that it usually doesn't help in your case. You probably will have to reisntall the OS and never touch a trial disk again.
