    Yeah, this can happen due to too 'sharp' heuristics.

    The app is of course 100% clean and perfectly safe to use.

    KIS 2010 or 2011 may have been good for many but I have a licence that I am not using simply because KIS screams at almost everything.

    Have you tried slmgr-rearm? That will change your CMID and most probably the error will go away.

    Hi Phazor, What is the likelihood of an KMS based solution being found by MS. I can't remember anyone ever complaining yet with 2010 or pro/enterprise but just curious. I remember this solution being very untouched not to mention it is the only solution that activates both office and 7

    Thanks :)

    In my opinion zero, since there is nothing they could find.

    (Nothing as in nothing that would allow them to draw a reliable conclusion as to the activating Hosts genuinity. The rest is irrelevant because the rest is genuine due to the nature of the KMS system.)

    Not only 'very untouched'. KMS touches absolutely nothing on the system at all. I know i have mentioned most of this already, but never in this thread, so i guess it cant hurt repeating it for our other readers.

    There are only 2 prerequisites for KMS, namely:

    1) The GVLK, (there is only one for each Edition), which can be found on every Win7 DVD

    2) The HostMachineName, which always has to be set if KMS is being used

    These two things are 100% genuine, since thats simply the basic setup of KMS based Volume Licensing. All systems using KMS are set up exactly like that.

    So how does it activate then, if no trickery is involved? Simple; the 'trickery' is in the Host! It has been programmed to tell Windows what a real KMS Host would tell it and as a result the whole thing works without doing anything 'non-genuine' to your system. The fact that the host sends 'non-genuine' genuinity-replies is irrelevant since it is neither part of the system nor able to do anything to the system. It is a totally individual outside-entity which connects to the system only via network protocol and hence doesnt even have to be executed on the machine that is to be activated.


    For better illustration:

    Jack dials Jims number but Joe picks up the phone

    Jack, thinking he is talking to Jim, asks "What time is it?" and Joe replies "8:00PM"

    Jack believes it since he trusts Jim and sets his watch to 8:00PM

    In actuality it is 9:00PM - Jack fell for a lie


    Thats the principle of the simulated KMS Host.

    It was Joe who lied, but it was Jack who set the watch to 9:00PM...

    Phazor, check out my code for Office activation.

    It can be done in a similar fashion for Windows too.

    Had a quick look, looks very good as always.

    How do you solve the GVLK installation though? Users task?

    (BTW, are there different GVLKs for different versions of Office?)

    Thanks Phazor, Jim, Jack, Joe :eek:...lol

    What a great solution and better than most simply cause it activates office too :p

    p.s. So Jack is (windows 7) and Jim is (actual KMS server) but joe is (simulated server) that intercepted a call between Jack (windows 7) and Jim (actual KMS server) hence Jack (windows 7) believed his friend Jim (KMS server) who in actuality was Joe (simulated server) was telling the truth hence set (windows 7) accordingly...lol

    But there are none beyond those, are there?

    In other words there is only one GVLK per version, just like Windows, right?

    (I dont know much about Office - in fact i dont even use it myself.)

    I have not seen any more GVLK keys to Office 2010 yet, so I think it's it then.

    Yes.

    Jack (sppsvc) thinks he is talking to Jim (Genuine KMS Server) but in reality Joe (ZWTs Host) is on the phone.

    Joe lies to Jack (Host lies to sppsvc) and Jack sets the clock to 8:00PM (Windows activates).

    The Point: It is Windows itself that activates the system, the Host doesnt touch anything.

    MGADiag.exe shows this:

    Registered KMS machine name: 127.0.0.1:1688

    I may be wrong but this could never happen with a legit activation - so a bit of a dead give away!

    could this be set to a random I.P. after activation to better hide the true activation sever ?

    Like the man said. Its no problem at all. Just pick your preferred HMN and add it to the hosts file...

    (BTW, perhaps i should make 'custom' host machine names an extra option in 6.0?)
