I have the best backup tool available, It's just OSPPSVC doesn't play nicely so backups don't always work. Several people have made tools but mine is the only one that can save office in case the restore causes OSPPSVC to force Office into notifications mode. Honestly unless we can mess with OSPPSVC to not mess with backups this is as good as it will get.
My friend sucessfully activated Office 2010 but he still remain with that error: Access to the path 'C:\Windows\Keygen.exe' is denied. Keygen.exe is added to Bitdefender exclusions lists. Do you know why?
Yes i think but the principal is that Office is now activated. My friend just started using Windows 7 x64 so maybe the problem come from him... He ran Office 2010 Toolkit as administrator.
OK I discovered I can make Office repair less annoying. By making a dummy OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform key with junk data, Office repair runs once to generate fresh tokens and other stuff (It does more than that but I'm not sure what.) It will do this without error or msi popup (just office setup.) It will then immediately popup a Accept license window to repair that app/suite. This is because it can start osppsvc so it doesn't need to reinstall/repair it. It means you don't have to open it 2-3 times and get bombed with errors, you will still wind up in notifications mode though. PS: If you have repaired one suite, adding license for remaining stuff repairs it as well. So if you repair Pro Plus, you can close it then add visio license (if visio installed) and visio won't popup setup (but be in notifications mode). Another point of interest. If dealing with multiple products. If you repair the first one and KMS activate it, subsequent repairs go into 30 day grace instead of Notifications. If you can't activate the 1st the second definitely won't work. This goes into the fact I am with the posted above settings file going to Automate the recommendations for fix in EZ-Activator fail message (You choose what you want it to do, I personally don't want anything rearmed automatically so I leave mine false.) I'm real busy though, so it may take awhile. @Bosh, would you know how to implement a settings file? I haven't the slightest idea how to (see my sample a few posts back for the plan/format). If you implement reading it into variables from Settings.ini I can implement those variables to do what they are meant for. I believe it will add more flexibility and if EZ-Activator succeeds in a AutoFix its one less person with Office 2010 broken activation wondering where to go from there (As its uninstall from there - I may make a Office 2010 Clean Uninstaller but unlikely for 2.0 Final, more likely a 2.1.) I can PM you the latest source code.
@CODYQX4: Yes, send me a PM with the latest source code, I'll add the read of a config (.ini) file. Tomorrow I'm very busy at work, but I'm in skype almost all day. We can discuss this and more changes, but I think they're a great upgrade
SEP did its daily scan and deleted EZ-Activator32.exe from my zipped folder but didnt delete EZ-Activator64.exe. looks like Symantec has updated their virus def. list to include your file. i wonder how long till the 64 one is deleted...
I've been having some problems lately where I've had to delete licensing and let office repair itself in order to get a sucessfull activation. BTW, never had this problem before and always used Cody's toolkits to activate. I have used this method on around 12 PC's with new installations of Win7 and Office 2010 pro plus VL untouched. Never used AV software untill office is installed and then allow the false positives through the AV(MSE). Over the last few weeks, on around 4 PC's with fresh installs, I've had to delete licensing and let office repair etc. Though I always get the latest updates as soon as Windows is installed, I did a test on another freshly installed PC about an hour ago where I installed Office before getting any updates and disabled Windows Defender. It worked first go. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing MS might have had an update or Windows Defender defenition update that detects KMS activation hence the activation errors lately, that worked flawlessly a few weeks ago. Don't know if this is relevant to anyone, just thought I'll share my experience...
Thank you CODYQX4 for the Toolkit , could you tell me how i can manual backup my activation ? because i try this way with no success htp://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/18691-Office-Professional-Plus-2010-RTM-*ACTIVATION-BACKUP-* sorry for my bad English
You need tokens.dat, cache.dat, OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform in the registry and Office/14.0/Registration in the registry. Restoring activation doesn't work well as OSPPSVC tries to prevent it. Did you try using toolkit to back it up? if backup succeed list contents of Backups folder and subfolders. IF it succeeded backup but not restore its OSPPSVC fault. IF toolkit backup is whole yet doesn't work manual won't be different. Office uses more than just HW for licensing (It uses several IDs and possibly special encryption and maybe timebombs the data), and this can make reformats (Which is likely the main purpose of backup) not accept it.
Even if I agree with the add of ini configuration file I suggest to keep the tool with one-exe-file-only structure, just to make it easier to copy or move. Ini file could be saved inside Windows folder where AutoKMS is (maybe you could create a subfolder inside Windows folder for autokms.exe, config.ini and any other file related to the toolkit)
I'd leave AutoKMS where it is for compatibility and I think putting the toolkit settings in windows folder is sloppy. I don't want the toolkit to leave its settings to a speciific PC. It's meant to be as portable as possible. What do you think about putting settings in a subfolder where toolkit is (like the Backups folder once a backup has been made)?
