Running License Delete will deactivate, but because its legit you should be able to reactivate, still though I have a way for you to not screw with it. You may end up having to reactivate anyway as EZ-Activator does a license repair on failure which deactivates everything but is necessary to fix things. 1.Uninstall Visio AND Project, but not your legit ProPlus (Do NOT use toolkit's office uninstaller, as it uninstalls everything). 2.Use Stannieman's Channel Changer on the Visio and Project Installers to make them VL. This avoids having to convert from retail to VL on the fly (this may be causing the delay). 3.Now that you have uninstalled Retail Visio and Project, but have your VL installers, install them. 4.Once they are installed, do a check activation status and post it here. 5.After my response (I need to make sure this cleans things out), you'll probably be able to activate the Visio and Project with EZ-Activator. I'll tell you to disable some settings based upon what I see so don't do activation until I see step 4.
Hi....may i ask a quick question...i realised i have the validation.sls.microsoft.com entry in my hosts. Is that needed for my activated office? i experimented with razor, mini KMS, dibya, and this....not too sure which activator added that entry. Just want to find out because i installed on another machine with mini KMS and it succeeded but that entry wasn't added in hosts.
Don't know where it came from but it should not be needed for KMS activation as that occurs locally. Toolkit definitely did not add it though.
thanks for the prompt reply....So I can delete that entry without having to worry that it'll validate itself online right??
You should be OK unless you are using some Windows activator that relies on it. Office 2010 will be fine though.
Ok finally done here is the status from step 4: --------------------------------------- SKU ID: 71af7e84-93e6-4363-9b69-699e04e74071 LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeProPlus-Retail LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, RETAIL channel LICENSE STATUS: Activated Last 5 characters of installed product key: WG8MC REMAINING GRACE: 0 days (0 minute(s) before expiring) --------------------------------------- SKU ID: 92236105-bb67-494f-94c7-7f7a607929bd LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeVisioPrem-KMS_Client LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: Notifications Mode Last 5 characters of installed product key: WX8BJ REMAINING GRACE: 0 days (0 minute(s) before expiring) --------------------------------------- SKU ID: df133ff7-bf14-4f95-afe3-7b48e7e331ef LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeProjectPro-KMS_Client LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: Notifications Mode Last 5 characters of installed product key: VHKC6 REMAINING GRACE: 0 days (0 minute(s) before expiring) ---------------------------------------
OK good. Go to toolkit settings for EZ-Activator and disable "Convert Unactivated Retail To KMS" ,"Uninstall Unactivated Keys", "Rearm On Failure" and "Reinstall Licenses On Failure". Then try EZ-Activator and post your results. We are hoping that it does not need to license repair (it probably will), if it does it can activate your KMS stuff and you'll have to manually reactivate your legit Retail. Hopefully activation works without that but given your circumstances it probably will do the license repair. Oh and be 100% sure no AV/Firewall is active, as something went wrong on your initial attempt. (Check Windows firewall as well).
Not working, everything is off firewall and windows firewall is off, AV is off, it's stuck on this for over 10 mins Attempting To Activate Office 2010 KMS Products. Attempting To Activate Project Professional.
Kill it, something is locking it up. Try this afterwards Goto Global Settings Tab and disable Delete KMS Keygen After Use and Delete KMS Host After Use. Then press the Activate button under the Activation tab (outside of settings). If it fails or locks up close the toolkit and run the C:\Windows\KMSEmulator.exe. Then open Visio and see if the keygen delivers a code. Close Visio then open it again and see if it activated. If it works for Visio do the same thing for Project. This activation occurs because those KMS apps are expired and manually try activating when opened (Not deleting stuff automatically let us run KMS without toolkit). Try that a few times open visio, check if it activates, close it open it again and do the same for Project. This is assuming activation is not locked up which would require doing the License Repair.
Ok did ran the kmsemulator.exe, opened Visio and Project, Project looks good, Visio still has Product activation failed in the title bar.
If Project worked then Visio will, keep trying it, and when you think its good be sure to check toolkit activation status. If that is good (180 days for Visio and Project). Install AutoKMS.
Well I rebooted my computer, checked activation status back to the start: SKU ID: 71af7e84-93e6-4363-9b69-699e04e74071 LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeProPlus-Retail LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, RETAIL channel LICENSE STATUS: Activated Last 5 characters of installed product key: WG8MC REMAINING GRACE: 0 days (0 minute(s) before expiring) --------------------------------------- SKU ID: 92236105-bb67-494f-94c7-7f7a607929bd LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeVisioPrem-KMS_Client LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: Notifications Mode Last 5 characters of installed product key: WX8BJ REMAINING GRACE: 0 days (0 minute(s) before expiring) --------------------------------------- SKU ID: df133ff7-bf14-4f95-afe3-7b48e7e331ef LICENSE NAME: Office 14, OfficeProjectPro-KMS_Client LICENSE DESCRIPTION: Office 14, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel LICENSE STATUS: Notifications Mode Last 5 characters of installed product key: VHKC6 REMAINING GRACE: 0 days (0 minute(s) before expiring)
From his description of things hanging, I doubt that would help. Plus it would just rob him of his ProPlus activation. Can you attempt activation the old way? I mean do what I said with running the KMSEmulator.exe with KMS Host set, but this time find OSPP.vbs and run cscript ospp.vbs /act. You have to open a command prompt where it is. It will likely be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 You would do this at the command prompt (with admin rights for the cmd, and Keygen running: cd /D C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 cscript ospp.vbs /act Try it a few times, if this hangs something is wrong outside of the toolkit's scope (as in something is wrong with your PC or Office).
CODYQX4,do you think that the EZ-Activator not changing his ProPlus Retail to KMS have something to do with the activation problem??
No because he said he tried regualr activation and it also hangs. He didn't show ospp.vbs /act yet though. If that messes up it can't be the toolkit's fault.
might be a stupid suggestion but have u checked that your firewalls are COMPLETELY off? there may be Real Time protection or something. WHen you disable avg windows firewall will take over. And there's public profile private profile etc. Many profiles to turn off.
