Post Description

NOTE: This CANNOT activate windows 8.1 or Server 2012 R2. This will not work to activate MS Office on those systems.

This is a set of tool and functions for managing, licensing, deploying, and activating various Microsoft products. All output from these functions is displayed in the Info. Console. All functions are run in the background and the GUI is disabled to prevent running multiple functions, as this can cause damage to the software, and sometimes even "brick" the operating system if there is an adverse enough reaction. The MS Office Setup Customization (Customize Setup Tab), AutoKMS Uninstaller (if you have installed AutoKMS), AutoRearm Uninstaller (Again, if auto rearm is installed), Office Uninstaller andProduct Key Checker work even if Microsoft Office or windows is not installed/supported.

Requirements:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0/4.5
Microsoft Office 2007+ (For MS office toolkit (AutoKMS and EZ-Activation) suppot)
