Hi I just used this and my Office is activated, but just to verify, does this automatically check whether I need to update it again so I never have to run the program again myself? And I read in the readme that it's a scheduled task. Does that mean this program/process never runs until 180 days have passed and it'll run once when the comp is turned on and it'll stop once activated till the next set of 180 days? I'm just wondering if this means I can just forget about activating office and it'll do everything itself without hogging resources. Thanks.
The EZ-activator install the autoKMS which does task to activate at boot or evey so often I believe. If you just activated regularily then use the button install autoKMS Cody also has a good solution that just rearms office as well but it's not so popular yet
Btw, is this "KMSEmulator.exe"? MSE is detecting it as a keygen. I'm not sure if it's from this toolkit or another one I dloaded before.
The "Office 2010 Activation and Conversion Kit 1.6" by Raz0r. I didn't need to install it, it was an application. Can anyone confirm whether or not the "KMSEmulator.exe" is cody's so I can get rid of a potential keygen?
Ok I just installed EZ-activator and saw autoKMS stuff there so that's why I thought that. Then I uninstall autoKMS but the KMSemulator.exe is still there. How come?
I disabled auto delete by default and apparently didn't rig it to get nuked (so it is left behind). It can be safely deleted and I leave it but can easily add that to uninstall in V2.1.
Cody, I would like to modify AutoKMS.exe tasksched parameters... I just want to make it execute during system startup and every midnight. <Interval>PT12H</Interval> </BootTrigger> <StartWhenAvailable>true</StartWhenAvailable> <AllowStartOnDemand>true</AllowStartOnDemand>
Yeah that's the problem.. I do realize that, and I don't think you'd release your source... so mind making this customizable via autokms.ini? and let me get this right.. say i run autokms.exe for the first time at 4am... it will always and always run at 4am everyday, right? and assuming that the computer is never on at 4am since the first time, means it'll never run autokms again right?
Norton 2011 flags kmsemulator.exe as a trojan upon bootup each time.......why? is kms always running, how does it work?
From what I understand it renews activation on every boot so that would explain why it keeps getting flagged.
It runs 2 different ways using 2 tasks. Once at boot and once daily. When run it will reset the daily time so if it got set to 4am it would run at 4am. If you missed 4am by rebooting it would run and set the time to when it run (like 8am if you booted it at that time). This concept I came up with is used in IORRT and ensures there is no way to miss the task and the days should never fall below 180 since it runs daily and runs on startup if you turn off PC for awhile (resetting it to 180 on boot).
If it runs on startup then I have no problem with it... When I saw the scheduled task, I didn't notice that it runs if it didn't get to run the daily task... unless im reading it wrong or have mistaken. please confirm, thanks. BTW, you seem very reluctant to setup a /silent switch for OTK. So what I did was wrote a script that would automatically copy autokms.exe and SOMETIMES... it will auto activate just fine... but sometimes I need to run otk and press the ezactivate button.. I do really seriously hope you'd consider adding a switch that would automatically activate. there were numerous requests for it already.
