<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>

</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcs</b> is
|
|
a program that can be used to test a KMS server that
|
|
provides activation for several Microsoft products. The KMS
|
|
server may also be an emulator. It supports KMS protocol
|
|
versions 4, 5 and 6.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcs</b>
|
|
generates one or more activation requests for a Microsoft
|
|
KMS product and sends it to a KMS server. It then analyzes
|
|
and displays the responses of the KMS server.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlcms</b>
|
|
checks both the DCE-RPC protocol and the activation message
|
|
for correctness and reports any errors that it finds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcs</b>
|
|
can also be used to "charge" a KMS server. A
|
|
Microsoft KMS server sends correct activation messages only
|
|
if it detects a certain minimum of clients (25 for Windows
|
|
client OSses, 5 otherwise) on the network. This is
|
|
Microsoft’s futile attempt to prevent running a KMS
|
|
server in a home environment.</p>

<i>activation-guid</i> maps 1:1 to a product key. However,

neither a Microsoft KMS server nor emulated servers check

this id. The <i>activation-guid</i> is useful in logging to

|
twice (with and without <b>-T</b>). This option may become

|
neccessary for future versions of Microsoft’s KMS

random <i>client-machine-guid</i> for each request. By using
|
|
this option you can specify a fixed
|
|
<i>client-machine-guid</i> This causes a Microsoft KMS not

to increment its client count because it receives multiple

usually 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 is used. You

The default is the <i>required-client-count</i> that the

Microsoft KMS server counts clients up to the double amount
