    Everything was working fine. Then this not activated sign pop out. After that margins on the left changed and I can't change them. Then I used this tool to activate, activation was succesful but the problem remain. I thought that problem with the margins was cos the world hasn't been activated.

    No, it doesn't run in bakground. It runs at every startup to activate office every time you turn on your PC, because sometimes the activation may fail, so, to assure that it's permanently activated, but after it finishes activation is closed.

    Sounds good buddy:)
    But it means that Windows takes longer to start?

    Tnx for a great Office fix ;)

    It's real light and doesn't take long so the performance impact is next to nothing.

    Hey CODYQX4, I am using your product again after the key I had was leaked and is no good anymore lol. I was just wondering, how often does the autoKMS start? Is it daily, monthly, what? I am just curious to see how often it auto-activates lol. Thanks bud.

    Update: Oh never mind, just found it in the task schedule lol. Thanks again. :)

    EZ-Activator will try to repair your office if its too broken for IORRT/AutoRearm so give it a shot.

    Have tried on many machines. Some took one attempt to activate while others took 15 attempts. So you guys shouldn't give up until you've tried enough times...So far i didnt have to rearm at all.

    Suggestion to developer:
    Maybe it'd be helpful to make an option which sets per click(one-run) to attempt activation 20 times, before saying activation failed? (similar to mini-kms)

    That only exists because sometimes KMS fails for no good reason and succeeds later whereas this was meant to be a one try thing. If the code + backup is good, it should work, otherwise retrying the same thing would fail again.

    @CODYQX4: If I can make a suggestion for a future build of your toolkit I would suggest that you should add an option to select how often the AutoKMS Service activates you. The reason is that I think it is a little reduntant for the at every startup and it is kinda hard to know how often it works unless you know what you are doing lol.

    Well given how it complicates the task (I make it in a difficult way to make it work on XP), I'd rather leave it as. It was meant to be left alone and the task can be changed and the default task works fine as is an 99% of people reboot at least once every 6 months. It is also intended to keep it locked at 180 because people think they can set it to work once every 6 months then it fails and they are stuck at notifications.

    It was meant to be simple yet the task can be edited in task scheduler for people that don't like the default behavior. Building an editor into the toolkit is more headache and harder than it should be because XP task API sucks massively and I have to use that (which may not support some things Vista+ users may have that XP doesn't).

    I'm thinking about a Copy Me Button as for some reason you can't right click it and a button would be easier than selecting it all and right clicking anyway.

    I don't want any files or opening notepad, and it turns out it took 2 minutes to get that button working.
