    Hi again,
    what's "Permanently Activate Starter" in office 2010 toolkit's settings ?
    is it necessary to be checked ?

    another quick question,
    i want to save my customized settings, but apparently the settings are saved in a different file called settings.ini
    so i have to carry it everywhere the main program goes. but sometimes it happens that it doesn't pay attention to the settings beside it and just loads the default settings and sometimes replaces my settings.ini ! so what should i do ?
    does the settings.ini have to be somewhere specific like on desktop to be effective?
    or if i set the settings.ini to "read only" would it work correctly ?

    Don't make it read only as I delete it and remake it when you change settings and the file must be in the same folder as toolkit exe itself.

    In case you use subscription of starter (which I don't even think a key for it exists since starter by default uses a key that disables activation), it uses a preactivated starter key.

    Command prompt closes

    Hello all, this my fist post here even though I've use many of your suggestions successfully. However this time I'm stuck.
    I have two computers that react very differently to the toolkit. I'll concentrate on the W7 32b machine for now (you guessed the other is W7 64b). I have downloaded from your sticky links Office 2010 Pro Plus (english) and installed it, so far so good. But when I try to run your toolkit or EZ-Activator, I see the command screen open and the close immediately:confused:. Of course I have de-activated BitDefender which doesn't like your programs at all (on my other machine which also has Bit Defender your program runs fine - it just can't make the mods - will have to install another version of Office). I have also run it as administrator to no avail. I have tried to browse through the posts to see if anybody else has had the problem but I must admit there are now many pages. Any help from your side would be appreciated.

    In Office Retail x86, I selected the option "Ez Activator", the program converted license to "retail" to "VL", but not installed the key, I had to select "License Files ", and install a VL to work perfectly, it was not meant to be done in the "Ez Activator" ?

    Out this detail, works 100% with AutoKMS Okay!

    Thanks.

    EDIT: Testing on other machines, there are several points where it says "access denied" in regkey.reg, and when you will turn, but this is easily solved with the Net Stop command osppsvc, in my view, the program is terminating the service before perform the operation, could see this case?

    a good idea would be to unify the command net stop osppsvc when your application starts, and net start osppsvc when finished, would be a good one, I will be available for testing.

    I actually do stop and start it when needed. It's possible it's restarting itself in rare cases but things like backup/restore require it to be stopped to work which it does.

    It seems there may be a few timing issues causing any of these problems but this is very hard to pin down and right now we are stuck at a certain point in development.

    Hi,

    Is this what I would use for Office 2010 so I don't get the annoying Office is not genuine messages?

    This is what you use to activate. What version of 2010 do you have? If retail it will convert office to volume copy and then activate

    I noticed that sometimes they restarted the program, some functions work properly, others need to restart again, I notice that the problem is just related to osppsvc ...

    I think commands as SYSTEM("net stop osppsvc") at the beginning, and SYSTEM("net start osppsvc") at the end, would solve the problem, and would optimize the code, plus the case is with you

    Thanks.

    I reverted back to 2007 as the message was annoying me and I could not find one that worked as it should.

    I'll download the retail version.

    It's as I said that I do that (very similar to what you say but SYSTEM() is c++ not c#), but doing certain things or office itself may start it. I plan to add more checks as I've edited code alot but I want to finalize V2.1 features first which changes some things like I want RAM KMS execution so AV interference does not happen but we are stuck on it (Bosh has a topic out on it which I am subscribed to but no luck yet).

    I did, same problem remains. I will try to be as precise as possible what happened:

    Step 1: Delete you license using the "Delete" from the license tab:
    Starts the operation, but in the end I get the message:
    "License info was not deleted! Here is a more detailed desciption about the error: *EMPTY LINES*"

    Step 2
    - Add a pro plus volume license (in the same license tab)
    Starts the operation, but in the end I get the message:
    "Microsoft office license install failed !Here is a more detailed desciption about the error: *EMPTY LINES*"

    Step 3
    - Open any office app to let it repair:
    What exactly do you mean with repair? I know a windows repair tool, but somehow I got the feeling you mean something diferent

    Step 4
    - Use EZ-Activator.

    This menu tab gives the following information which seems correct to me:

    Office 2010 information Office installer
    Installed on system: yes Microsoft Office 2010
    Architecture: x86

    Then i start the EZ-Activator:
    The operation starts:
    getting office cong inf.
    backing up license info in case of failure
    Changing any unactivated MAK keys to KMS
    If you have start subscription it will now use permantently activated key
    Converting unactivated, trial, or subscription retail versions of office into VL
    Removing any unactivated retail kets left installed after conversion to VL
    Attempting to activate Office 2010 KMS Products
    Attempting to activate profession plus
    Failed to activate 10 times.

    -------------------------------
    Attempting to rearm
    Microsoft office rearm failed!

    --------------------------------

    The previous process repeats.


    EDIT:
    I dont know if this means something but in the activation tab, if i manually try to rearm I get the following message:
    "Microsoft office rearm failed!
    Here is a more detailed description about the error:
    Error: 0xc004fe00
    On a computer running Microsoft Windos non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004f00' to display the error text."

    Maybe this information is useful...

    Furthermore, in the same activatio tab there is a functionality of manually activating Office 2010.
    If i do so it gives something like the following:
    "Processing --
    Installed product key detected - attempting to activate the following product:
    SKU ID: <id>
    License: <name>
    License description: <license description>
    Last 5 charactecs of installed product key: H3GVB

    <Product Activation failed> ---

    Same process, exactly the same output, including the same installed product key 'H3GVB', isnt that wierd?
    Furthermore, it says it detects an installed product key, but if i go to the product key tab, or license files tab, i cannot delete any keys, because they are not present!

    Note I would like to add the previous version of the KMS tool worked perfect on both my laptop and desktop :p So I am really confused now with my netbook issues.
