No, the infection didn't come from Keygen.exe. You can't be "almot 100% sure", you don't even know what it does.. It does not connect to the internet, it just listens to a port, that's why the firewall gives alerts. It has been flagged as malware because it's a non-official way of activating Office (or Windows). Instead of blaming something that has nothing to do with your problem (no one has reported something like that ), first be sure from where you get the installers, or videos, or anything. It has been a lot of work, you should be careful with your statements as they might discourage others to help
Anyone help me out. Ive just tried to use the acivtator but got this error message "EZ-Activator Failed! Here is a more detailed description about the error: One or Office 2010 Products Failed KMS Activation 25 Times. Read a few lines above to see what failed. Activation almost certainly failed due to the Invalid KMS Data Error (Which is the KMS Keygen's fault) and Office 2010 has gotten stuck in a state where it rejects further KMS activation attempts due to this failure. First try to Reinstall that license using License Management Add and Try EZ-Activator again. Then try to rearm if EZ-Activator fails again. If that does not work try the License Management Delete All and let Office 2010 repair and try again. If this does not work reinstall Office 2010." Anyone help me out with this?? Thanks in advance guys
@BigCol First try to Reinstall that license using License Management Add and Try EZ-Activator again. Then try to rearm if EZ-Activator fails again. If that does not work try the License Management Delete All and let Office 2010 repair and try again. If this does not work reinstall Office 2010." Try the bolded instructions, also if you have AV on try to turn it off and then try those instuctions
Thanks, Ive activated it. I clicked rearm then activate. However, this is the message I got when I clicked check activation status: Is there any way of activating it permanently? Thanks Codyqx4!
That's how KMS works dude and if you install the task part of his tool it will activate automatically at restart I think
No it is not activated permanently kms activation only activates for 180 days this toolkit will reactivate for you so no need to worry.
Yeah that seems to almost guarantee failure. Its very hard to KMS activate in that state (sometimes impossible hence the reinstall).
Do I need to uninstall or just reinstall? here's the error when I try to re arm Microsoft Office rearm failed! Here is a more detailed description about the error: Error: 0xc004fe00 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004fe00' to display the error text.
Uninstall. PS: That rearm error means Office considers itself tampered/corrupted. This immediately results in Notifications Mode, disables rearm, and makes KMS activation more difficult in some scenarios. Usually you need to reinstall in this case unless you have a MAK or Retail key you can use to activate online (as good activation unmarks it as tampered).
Ok, I uninstalled office, ran the fixit program, rebooted, reinstalled, but it went back to notification mode straight away
