Problem is that it isn't the activator. The activator deletes token and adds reg keys/new tokens that make your stuff Pro Plus VL. The fact that you see Pro Plus when checking status indicates that that part has completed. I managed to replicate the error and now I can't activate. Try a rearm and see if it errors like mine did. It seems that in some cases office can screw up with no way to KMS activate it even though the activator worked and this can happen without the activator.
After applying your changes and changing it to VL version, I activated using option 2 and on the second time, it worked! Thanks heaps CODYQX4! I now have a working and activated Office Pro Plus x64 working on my Win7 x64 machine! Thanks again!
Good to see you got it. I had to delete everything, reboot, and play around with it randomly and was able to get it.
OK good, sometimes office licensing gets screwy and can't activate, and if messed with like the activator may take down rearm until fixed. I find that deleting all licening stuff rebooting and trying to get it to rebuild, sometimes doing the add licenses to add reg entries (You don't need to delete the Registration Key unless keys get redirected wrong or you used add license to add things you don't have/need) can eventually fix it.
Hi, Great work & thanks for the info. The download link is maxed, is there any chance of providing this again! Many thanks.
@ CODYQX4 I was wondering, would it be possible to create a slipstream installation of Retail Pro Plus x86, have it install the trial key, then launch the Retail to VL inserts etc and then activate with EZ-Activator...all in one installation, no launching of activate tools.. It should be possible, yes/no?
What do you mean it is "maxed"? It's a MultiUpload link. I just downloaded the file. Link works fine...
Can I be of any assistance? In case you need a GUI? BTW....couldn't get the ezactivator as the rs link is only showing me
With VL Office you can use something called Office Customization Tool, which could do all that but it can't be used with retail. If you are going to install then activate and mess with installer, may as well use VL disc. Its better to be VL than have to convert to it. There should be multiple links available, try another site, and if you are any good with GUI programming maybe you could help with this.
hey CODYQX4. thanks for all your work. how do you get the sfx archive to run the cmd? usually they just want to self-extract.
i have a question: I have installed Retail Pro version with Key...can I use this app to convert and activate it as vl? And whats up with the AUTOkms? Does it means, it automatically reactivates after 180 days? Can somebody describe me the single steps to activate Retail as VL?
AutoKMS just reactivates at boot and every 12 hours after boot. This tool will convert to VL and activate like you want. Just run the EZ Activator. If your office is 64 bit extract the exe and run batch file AnyKMS.cmd as admin.
