Indeed, it IS weird. Just block TCP for Task Scheduler, reboot and see it fail... I guess it's not about accessing the network (unless you use the remote functionality of course), rather, verifying access to the TCP stack itself. Ok, I did the cleanup and ran it again. Here's the breakdown: 1. A 2. A 3. System reboots, I select the keyboard layout and enter my password. 4. I open a command prompt and I run c:ir5. 5. System reboots, I observe non-genuine message, later on a dialog saying that I have 30 days and 5 rearms left. I can also see that there is a new task under Task Scheduler, scheduled to run every 30 days. I guess it means success and that I am done, right? May I ask: - What happens after 30 days (is it automatic from here, or do I have to do something)? - What should I do when the computer is not turned on when the task is scheduled to run? (Can I force running it earlier?) Thank you!
Yea I was wondering if this was automatic too but on the first post on this thread by timesurfer it says that it does. Do you even need task scheduler to run for this?
My guess: Task Manager is needed only to ensure that it is run every 30 days at least. But, I will wait until the "official" feedback.
Since Trilogy (the IR5 part in this case) does not actually activate Windows, there should be no problems with either of the above. Windows stays in trial mode for 6 months at which time you must uninstall and reinstall IR5. Since no files are modified, there is no chance of it being detected as a virus by any antivirus software. If there is no password for your Windows login, you can leave it blank. Your results look good. After 30 days, the task in the task scheduler will run to rearm Windows for another 30 days. This continues until you are out of rearms at which time you must uninstall and reinstall IR5. You can always run the task manually but keep in mind that whenever you run the task, a rearm is used and a new 30 day grace period starts. As a result, if you keep manually rearming earlier, the trial period be be decreased. Task scheduler is used to automatically run the task every 30 days. Without it, it will be less automatic. Timesurfer's intent was to make this as automatic as possible. This is correct.
So basically, without the task scheduler(you guys were calling it task manager earlier) I would have to go on trilogy and at the end of the 30 days I have to do the rearm? This is confusing me.
I'm not sure what you're being confused by, but basically, when IR5 is installed you should have a task in the Task Scheduler which is set to run every 30 days. This task, when run, will use up 1 rearm and will reset your trial period to 30 days. If you really, really, want to, you can delete the task and run it manually whenever you wish. However, doing so may cause issues during the uninstall phase. You will need to uninstall and reinstall once the last rearm and 30 days are used up. If you really don't like using the task scheduler, perhaps another solution would suite you better.
Oh. I was actually being confused by like if I was supposed to start up task scheduler and add the rearm task manually. Now I understand. Thanks for the help.
IORRT doesn't seem to work with newest Office 2010 Hi! I'm getting Office reconfigugation (reinstall) every time I reactivate IORRT and after office reinstallationcompletes, it will complain about failing to activate office.
Your office is borked uninstall and reinstall. If your in notifications after reinstall then use toolkit to activate then IORRT if you wish Pay attention closer to the person helping you!!!!!!!!!
Sorry homes Right, I took this option and it says I have 0 rearms available. I have never rearmed office though, i only installed windows about a month ago lol.
I'm glad I was able to clear things up. Actually, if I had not responded to your post, I'm sure Timesurfer would have been along to answer all your questions. He's just busy doing that moderating thing.
