    Thank CODYQX4, I got activated MAK version Office Pro Plus which is permanent activated. However, I would like to add Visio premium but it is not working. How can I install VL version of Visio and activation without impacting activated MAK version Office Pro license?

    Install it using VL Visio setup, then run "Attempt Activation", AutoKMS, or EZ-Activator to activate Visio via KMS (EZ-Activator will not mess with your MAK if its activated and will not try to reactivate MAK online so I recommend EZ-Activator).

    I would like to make some suggestions:

    I think your program creates keygen.exe, runs it and then deletes it. This causes some problems with some AV programs because I can not 'allow' a program if it keeps disappearing and reappearing on each reboot.

    I suggest naming the file something descriptive instead of keygen.exe Something that would make sense if a teen reboots my computer and sees the popup.

    A related thing is to keep the newly named keygen.exe on the system. Your code (autokms.exe) would check to see if the required keygen exists. If not, then create it. But do not remove it after the autokms runs. This will allow us to 'allow' the file during an AV scan and it should disallow the AV from blocking it (or causing a popup on every reboot).

    A good idea. When Bosh adds the ini file part I will make a setting to implement what you suggest or use current behavior. I can name it something else but I have to keep consistent once I pick that name else I have to look for Keygen and whatever name if removing.

    A MAK key found on the internet, can and will most likely be blacklisted at one time, and when MS starts the OGA programs, any Office 2010 version using a blacklisted MAK key will be marked as non genuine. So KMS activations is actually the most safe way to activate. But I also using some MAK keys now, and if they get blacklistet, I can switch over to KMS.

    nothing special? you use the old one or not and the new have got important changes i think:

    - Optimized detect Office 2010 products on 64 edition of Windows.
    - Setting of counter of rearms Office 2010 (counter is working for the rearms made with activator only).
    - Install/Uninstall KMS emulator as Windows service without Command window.
    - KMS emulator installation process is modified.
    - The conflict with firewall is eliminated at run once KMS emulator.
    - Function of copying of a path to the KMS emulator's file for adding in exceptions of Anti-Virus software.
    - Internal errors reporting (eg: if activator components are blocked by antivirus software).
    - Improved checking whether activator is running on behalf of administrator.
    - Activator code optimization.

    i like the antivirus exceptions!

    Some of it isn't what it seems. The AV thing just sees if keygen deleted (my toolkit will error in this case) and errors, and creates a log with Keygen path you have to manually copy.

    The enhanced detection/64 bit stuff is a long part of the toolkit, and the rearm count thing can go horribly wrong since it counts rearms done by mini-kms. A manual rearm, reinstall, or license operation can render this invalid.

    It is a improvement over the old mini-kms though. Keep in mind mini-kms is for Win 7 also, whereas toolkit is only for Office (So if using KMS Win 7 this SP1 stuff will help).

    If you only use KMS for Office I would use the toolkit over mini-kms.

    You would need to add C:\Windows\Keygen.exe to AVG exclusions.

    If you look at "REMAINING GRACE:" it says 180 days which means you have successfully KMS activated. You can press that Activate button to try and reset those days (EX: going from 90 back to 180, you can do this endlessly). KMS activation is only good for 180 days but you can just keep resetting it. That's what AutoKMS does, runs at boot to reactivate.

    I just installed Office 2010 on a fresh fresh Windows 7 (this is the first application I'm installing) and I tried to register it with Office 2010 Toolkit.

    When I pressed the EZ-Activator button, a file (c:\windows\keygen.exe) was created and tried to access the Internet (Windows Firewall noticed me). Since the file came from MyDigitalInfo and seemed to be trusted, I accepted the notice. After that, Microsoft Security Essentials detected a trojan on my computer. I thought that it was a false positive due to the keygen, so I ignored.

    2 minutes later, I ended up being infected by a virus: Antimalware Doctor.

    I'm sure about that since many popups start appearing about this antivirus, requesting me to pay to clean my computer.

    This is a fresh install. The only thing I did since my fresh install is: downloading the .EXE from Microsoft server (the link was heading to Microsoft domain name), changing it to volume with the Office 2010 Installer Channel Switcher (I used the link on MDL) and using the EZ-Activator from Office 2010 Toolkit (the latest build I found on the forum).

    Honestly, you should watch out with this application. It wasn't a simple false positive, the fake antivirus was installed on my computer, blocked Firefox / IE, the registry and removed the taskbar in safe mode.
