SYNOPSIS

|
|
|

DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd.ini (or simply called the "ini file") is a configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
|
for vlmcsd(8). By default vlmcsd does not use a configuration file. It
|
|
|
|
|
|
is completely optional and for advanced users only. You must use the -i
|
|
|
|
|
|
option on the vlmcsd command line to use an ini file. There is no
|
|
|
|
|
|
default name or default location for the ini file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything, that can be configured in the ini file, may also be speci‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
fied on the command line. Any configuration option specified on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
command line takes precedence over the respective configuration line in
|
|
|
|
|
|
the ini file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Benefits of a configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While you can use the configuration file to simply modify the default
|
|
|
|
|
|
behavior of vlmcsd, it can also be used to change the configuration of
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd after you sent a HUP signal(7). Whenever you send SIGHUP, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file will be re-read. Any changes you made to the ini
|
|
|
|
|
|
file will be reflected after vlmcsd received the hangup signal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Differences between command line and configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you specify an illegal option or option argument on the command
|
|
|
|
|
|
line, vlmcsd displays help and exits. If you specify an incorrect key‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
word or argument in the ini file, vlmcsd displays a warning with some
|
|
|
|
|
|
information, ignores the respective line and continues. This is inten‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
tional and prevents vlmcsd from aborting after a SIGHUP if the configu‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
ration was modified incorrectly.

SYNTAX
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd.ini is a UTF-8 encoded text file with each line being in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
format keyword = argument. The keyword is not case-sensitive. The argu‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
ment is treated literally. It is neither required nor allowed to
|
|
|
|
|
|
enclose the argument in any form of quote characters except when quote
|
|
|
|
|
|
characters are part of the argument itself. Whitespace characters are
|
|
|
|
|
|
ignored only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- at the beginning of a line
|
|
|
|
|
|
- between the keyword and '='
|
|
|
|
|
|
- between '=' and the argument
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lines, that start with '#' or ';' are treated as comments. Empty lines
|
|
|
|
|
|
are ignored as well. If a keyword is repeated in another line, vlmcsd
|
|
|
|
|
|
will use the argument of the last occurence of the keyword. An excep‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
tion to this is the Listen keyword which can be specified multiple
|
|
|
|
|
|
times and causes vlmcsd to listen on more than one IP address and/or
|
|
|
|
|
|
port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some arguments are binary arguments that need to be either TRUE or
|
|
|
|
|
|
FALSE. You can use "Yes", "On" or "1" as an alias for TRUE and "No",
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Off" or "0" as an alias for FALSE. Binary arguments are case-insensi‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
tive.

KEYWORDS
|
2016-06-06 04:36:00 +02:00
|
|
|
|
The following keywords are defined (not all keywords may be available
|
|
|
|
|
|
depending on the operating system and the options used when vlmcsd(8)
|
|
|
|
|
|
was compiled):

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Listen This defines on what combinations of IP addresses and ports vlm‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
csd should listen. Listen can be specified more than once. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
argument has the form ipaddress[:port]. If you omit the port,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the default port of 1688 is used. If the ipaddress contains
|
|
|
|
|
|
colons and a port is used, you must enclose the ipaddress in
|
|
|
|
|
|
brackets. The default is to listen to 0.0.0.0:1688 and [::]:1688
|
|
|
|
|
|
which means listen to all IPv4 and all IPv6 addresses. See the
|
|
|
|
|
|
-L option in vlmcsd(8) for more info about the syntax. If you
|
2016-06-06 04:36:00 +02:00
|
|
|
|
use -L or -P on the command line, all Listen keywords in the ini
|
|
|
|
|
|
file will be ignored. The Listen keyword cannot be used if vlm‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
csd has been compiled to use Microsoft RPC (Windows and Cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
|
only) or simple sockets.

|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Listen = 192.168.1.123:1688
|
|
|
|
|
|
Listen = 0.0.0.0:1234
|
|
|
|
|
|
Listen = [fe80::1721:12ff:fe81:d36b%eth0]:1688
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-06-06 04:36:00 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Port Can only be used if vlmcsd has been compiled to use simple sock‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
ets or on Windows and Cygwin if vlmcsd(8) has been compiled to
|
|
|
|
|
|
use Microsoft RPC. Otherwise you must use Listen instead. Causes
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd to listen on that port instead of 1688.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBind
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, you can use the Listen keyword
|
|
|
|
|
|
with IP addresses that are currently not defined on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd(8) will start listening on these IP addresses as soon as
|
|
|
|
|
|
they become available. This keyword is only available under
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux and FreeBSD because no other OS currently supports that
|
|
|
|
|
|
feature. FreeBSD supports this only for IPv4 and requires the
|
|
|
|
|
|
PRIV_NETINET_BINDANY privilege which is normally assigned to
|
|
|
|
|
|
proccesses of the root user.

|
|
|
|
|
|
IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0 = No protection (default)
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
one or more Listen statements)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 = Disconnect clients with public IP addresses without activat‐
|
|
|
|

|
UseNDR64
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be TRUE or FALSE. Specifies whether you want to use the
|
|
|
|
|
|
NDR64 transfer syntax. See options -n0 and -n1 in vlmcsd(8). The
|
|
|
|
|
|
default is TRUE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UseBTFN
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be TRUE or FALSE. Specifies whether you want to use bind
|
|
|
|
|
|
time feature negotiation in RPC. See options -b0 and -b1 in vlm‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
csd(8). The default is TRUE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RandomizationLevel
|
|
|
|
|
|
The argument must 0, 1 or 2. This specifies the ePID randomiza‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
tion level. See options -r0, -r1 and -r2 in vlmcsd(8). The
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
default randomization level is 1. A RandomizationLevel of 2 is
|
|
|
|
|
|
not recommended and should be treated as a debugging level.
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00

LCID Use a specific culture id (LCID) even if the ePID is randomized.
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
The argument must be a number between 1 and 32767. While any
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
number in that range is valid, you should use an offcial LCID. A
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
list of assigned LCIDs can be found at http://msdn.micro‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
soft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspx. On the command line you
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
control this setting with option -C.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MaxWorkers
|
|
|
|
|
|
The argument specifies the maximum number of worker processes or
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
threads that will be used to serve activation requests concur‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
rently. This is the same as specifying -m on the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Minimum is 1. The maximum is platform specific and is at least
|
|
|
|
|
|
32767 but is likely to be greater on most systems. The default
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
is no limit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ConnectionTimeout
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Used to control when the vlmcsd disconnects idle TPC connec‐
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
tions. The default is 30 seconds. This is the same setting as -t
|
|
|
|
|
|
on the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DisconnectClientsImmediately
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Set this to TRUE to disconnect a client after it got an activa‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
tion response regardless whether a timeout has occured or not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default is FALSE. Setting this to TRUE is non-standard
|
|
|
|
|
|
behavior. Use only if you are experiencing DoS or DDoS attacks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the command line you control this behavior with options -d
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
and -k.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PidFile
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Write a pid file. The argument is the full pathname of a pid
|
|
|
|
|
|
file. The pid file contains is single line containing the
|
|
|
|
|
|
process id of the vlmcsd process. It can be used to stop
|
|
|
|
|
|
(SIGTERM) or restart (SIGHUP) vlmcsd. This directive can be
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
overriden using -p on the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LogFile
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Write a log file. The argument is the full pathname of a log
|
|
|
|
|
|
file. On a unixoid OS and with Cygwin you can use the special
|
|
|
|
|
|
filename 'syslog' to log to the syslog facility. This is the
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
same as specifying -l on the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-08-02 16:39:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
LogDateAndTime
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be TRUE or FALSE. The default is TRUE. If set to FALSE, log‐
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
ging output does not include date and time. This is useful if
|
|
|
|
|
|
you log to stdout(3) which is redirected to another logging
|
2016-08-02 16:39:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
mechanism that already includes date and time in its output, for
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
instance systemd-journald(8). If you log to syslog(3), LogDate‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
AndTime is ignored and date and time will never be included in
|
2016-08-02 16:39:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
the output sent to syslog(3). Using the command line you control
|
|
|
|
|
|
this setting with options -T0 and -T1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
LogVerbose
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Set this to either TRUE or FALSE. The default is FALSE. If set
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
to TRUE, more details of each activation will be logged. You use
|
2016-09-04 16:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
|
-v and -q in the command line to control this setting. LogVer‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
bose has an effect only if you specify a log file or redirect
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
logging to stdout(3).

|
|
|
|
WhitelistingLevel
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be 0, 1, 2 or 3. The default is 0. Sets the whitelisting
|
|
|
|
|
|
level to determine which products vlmcsd activates or refuses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0: activate all products with an unknown, retail or
|
|
|
|
|
|
beta/preview KMS ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1: activate products with a retail or beta/preview KMS ID
|
|
|
|
|
|
but refuse to activate products with an unknown KMS ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2: activate products with an unknown KMS ID but refuse
|
|
|
|
|
|
products with a retail or beta/preview KMS ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3: activate only products with a known volume license RTM
|
|
|
|
|
|
KMS ID and refuse all others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SKU ID is not checked. Like a genuine KMS server vlmcsd
|
|
|
|
|
|
activates a product that has a random or unknown SKU ID. If you
|
|
|
|
|
|
select 1 or 3, vlmcsd also checks the Application ID for cor‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
rectness. If Microsoft introduces a new KMS ID for a new prod‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
uct, you cannot activate it if you used 1 or 3 until a new ver‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
sion of vlmcsd is available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CheckClientTime
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be TRUE or FALSE. The default is FALSE. If you set this to
|
|
|
|
|
|
TRUE vlmcsd(8) checks if the client time differs no more than
|
|
|
|
|
|
four hours from the system time. This is useful to prevent emu‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
lator detection. A client that tries to detect an emulator could
|
|
|
|
|
|
simply send two subsequent request with two time stamps that
|
|
|
|
|
|
differ more than four hours from each other. If both requests
|
|
|
|
|
|
succeed, the server is an emulator. If you set this to TRUE on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
system with no reliable time source, activations will fail. It
|
|
|
|
|
|
is ok to set the correct system time after you started vlm‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
csd(8).

|
|
|
|
MaintainClients
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can be TRUE or FALSE (the default). Disables (FALSE) or enables
|
|
|
|
|
|
(TRUE) maintaining a list of client machine IDs (CMIDs). TRUE is
|
|
|
|
|
|
useful to prevent emulator detection. By maintaing a CMID list,
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd(8) reports current active clients exactly like a genuine
|
|
|
|
|
|
KMS emulator. This includes bug compatibility to the extent that
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can permanently kill a genuine KMS emulator by sending an
|
|
|
|

|
"overcharge request" with a required client count of 376 or more
|
|
|
|
|
|
and then request activation for 671 clients. vlmcsd(8) can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
reset from this condition by restarting it. If FALSE is used,
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd(8) reports current active clients as good as possible. If
|
|
|
|
|
|
no client sends an "overcharge request", it is not possible to
|
|
|
|
|
|
detect vlmcsd(8) as an emulator with MaintainClients = FALSE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maintaining clients requires the allocation of a buffer that is
|
|
|
|
|
|
about 50 kB in size. On hardware with few memory resources use
|
|
|
|
|
|
it only if you really need it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you start vlmcsd(8) from an internet superserver, this set‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
ting cannot be used. Since vlmcsd(8) exits after each activa‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
tion, it cannot maintain any state in memory.

|
StartEmpty
|
|
|
|
|
|
This setting is ignored if you do not also specify Maintain‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clients = TRUE. If you specify FALSE (the default), vlmcsd(8)
|
|
|
|
|
|
starts up as a fully "charged" KMS server. Clients activate
|
|
|
|
|
|
immediately. StartEmpty = TRUE lets you start up vlmcsd(8) with
|
|
|
|
|
|
an empty CMID list. Activation will start when the required min‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
imum clients (25 for Windows Client OSses, 5 for Windows Server
|
|
|
|
|
|
OSses and Office) have registered with the KMS server. As long
|
|
|
|
|
|
as the minimum client count has not been reached, clients end up
|
|
|
|
|
|
in HRESULT 0xC004F038 "The count reported by your Key Management
|
|
|
|
|
|
Service (KMS) is insufficient. Please contact your system admin‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
istrator". You may use vlmcs(1) or another KMS client emulator
|
|
|
|
|
|
to "charge" vlmcsd(8). Setting this parameter to TRUE does not
|
|
|
|
|
|
improve emulator detection prevention. It's primary purpose is
|
|
|
|
|
|
to help developers of KMS clients to test "charging" a KMS
|
|
|

|
|
server.

to renew activation. Even though vlmcsd sends the renewal inter‐

val you specify, it is no more than some kind of recommendation

VALID EPIDS
|
2016-10-24 15:32:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
The ePID is currently a comment only. You can specify any string up to
|
|
|
|
|
|
63 bytes. In Windows 7 Microsoft has blacklisted few ( < 10 ) ePIDs
|
|
|
|
|
|
that were used in KMSv5 versions of the "Ratiborus Virtual Machine".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft has given up on blacklisting when KMS emulators appeared in
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
the wild.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even if you can use "Activated by cool hacker guys" as an ePID, you may
|
|
|
|
|
|
wish to use ePIDs that cannot be detected as non-MS ePIDs. If you don't
|
2016-10-24 15:32:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
know how these "valid" ePIDs look like exactly, do not use GUIDS in
|
|
|
|
|
|
vlmcsd.ini. vlmcsd provides internal mechanisms to generate valid
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
ePIDs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use non-ASCII characters in your ePID (you shouldn't do anyway),
|
2016-10-24 15:32:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
these must be in UTF-8 format. This is especially important when you
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
run vlmcsd on Windows or cygwin because UTF-8 is not the default encod‐
|
|
|
|
|
|
ing for most editors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are specifying an optional HWID it follows the same syntax as in
|
2016-10-24 15:32:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
the -H option in vlmcsd(8) ecxept that you must not enclose a HWID in
|
2015-11-29 10:30:52 +01:00
|
|
|
|
quotes even if it contains spaces.
