|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcsd.ini</b>
|
|
(or simply called the "ini file") is a
|
|
configuration file for <b>vlmcsd</b>(8). By default vlmcsd
|
|
does not use a configuration file. It is completely optional
|
|
and for advanced users only. You must use the <b>-i</b>
|
|
option on the vlmcsd command line to use an ini file. There
|
|
is no default name or default location for the ini file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Everything,
|
|
that can be configured in the ini file, may also be
|
|
specified on the command line. Any configuration option
|
|
specified on the command line takes precedence over the
|
|
respective configuration line in the ini file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Benefits of
|
|
a configuration file</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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
|
|
<b>signal</b>(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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Differences
|
|
between command line and configuration file</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you specify
|
|
an illegal option or option argument on the command line,
|
|
vlmcsd displays help and exits. If you specify an incorrect
|
|
<i>keyword</i> or <i>argument</i> in the ini file, vlmcsd
|
|
displays a warning with some information, ignores the
|
|
respective line and continues. This is intentional and
|
|
prevents vlmcsd from aborting after a SIGHUP if the
|
|
configuration was modified incorrectly.</p>

</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">vlmcsd.ini is a
|
|
UTF-8 encoded text file with each line being in the format
|
|
<i>keyword</i> = <i>argument</i>. The <i>keyword</i> is not
|
|
case-sensitive. The <i>argument</i> is treated literally. It
|
|
is neither required nor allowed to enclose the
|
|
<i>argument</i> in any form of quote characters except when
|
|
quote characters are part of the argument itself. Whitespace
|
|
characters are ignored only</p>
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Lines, that
|
|
start with ’#’ or ’;’ are treated as
|
|
comments. Empty lines are ignored as well. If a
|
|
<i>keyword</i> is repeated in another line, vlmcsd will use
|
|
the <i>argument</i> of the last occurence of the
|
|
<i>keyword</i>. An exception to this is the Listen
|
|
<i>keyword</i> which can be specified multiple times and
|
|
causes vlmcsd to listen on more than one IP address and/or
|
|
port.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Some
|
|
<i>argument</i>s 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-insensitive.</p>

the default port of 1688 is used. If the <i>ipaddress</i>
|

the <i>ipaddress</i> in brackets. The default is to listen
|
|
to 0.0.0.0:1688 and [::]:1688 which means listen to all IPv4
|

<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">Enables a

|
compatible VPN adapter to create additional local IPv4
|
|
addresses (like 127.0.0.1) that appear as remote IPv4
|
|
addresses to the system. This allows product activation
|
|
using a local instance of vlmcsd. This feature is only
|
|
available in Windows and Cygwin builds of vlmcsd since it is
|
|
not of any use on other operating systems. Compatible VPN
|
|
adapters are Tap-windows version 8.2 or higher (from
|
|
OpenVPN) and the TeamViewer VPN adapter. There is a special
|
|
<i>vpn-adapter-name</i>. A single period (.) instructs
|
|
vlmcsd to use the first available compatible VPN adapter.
|
|
The <i>vpn-adapter-name</i> is <b>not</b> case-sensitive. If
|
|
the <i>vpn-adapter-name</i> contains spaces (e.g. Ethernet
|
|
3), do <b>not</b> enclose it in quotes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">The default
|
|
<i>ipv4-address</i> is 10.10.10.9 and the default
|
|
<i>cidr-mask</i> is 30. If you are using the default values,
|
|
your VPN adapter uses an IPv4 address of 10.10.10.9 and you
|
|
can set your activation client to use the easy to remember
|
|
address 10.10.10.10 (e.g. slmgr /skms 10.10.10.10 or cscript
|
|
ospp.vbs /sethst:10.10.10.10).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">The
|
|
<i>dhcp-lease-duration</i> is a number optionally followed
|
|
by s, m, h, d or w to indicate seconds, minutes, hours, days
|
|
or weeks. The default <i>dhcp-lease-duration</i> is 1d (one
|
|
day). It is normally not required to change this value.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">It is advised
|
|
not to manually configure your OpenVPN TAP or TeamViewer VPN
|
|
adapter in "Network Connections". If you set the
|
|
IPv4 configuration manually anyway, the IPv4 address and the
|
|
subnet mask must match the <b>VPN=</b> directive. It is safe
|
|
leave the IPv4 configuration to automatic (DHCP). vlmcsd
|
|
will wait up to four seconds for the DHCP configuration to
|
|
complete before binding to and listenin on any
|
|
interfaces.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">You should be
|
|
aware that only one program can use a VPN adapter at a time.
|
|
If you use the TeamViewer VPN adapter for example, you will
|
|
not be able to use the VPN feature of TeamViewer as long as
|
|
vlmcsd is running. The same applies to OpenVPN TAP adapters
|
|
that are in use by other programs (for example OpenVPN,
|
|
QEMU, Ratiborus VM, aiccu, etc.). The best way to avoid
|
|
conflicts is to install Tap-Windows from OpenVPN, cd to
|
|
C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin and run addtap.bat to
|
|
install an additional TAP adapter. Go to "Network
|
|
Connections" and rename the new adapter to
|
|
"vlmcsd" and specify <b>VPN=vlmcsd</b> to use
|
|
it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ExitLevel</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be either 0 (the default)
|
|
or 1. Controls under what circumstances vlmcsd will exit.
|
|
Using the default of <b>0</b> vlmcsd stays active as long as
|
|
it can perform some useful operations. If vlmcsd is run by
|
|
any form of a watchdog, e.g. NT service manager (Windows),
|
|
systemd (Linux) or launchd (Mac OS / iOS), it may be
|
|
desirable to end vlmcsd and let the watchdog restart it.
|
|
This is especially true if some pre-requisites are not yet
|
|
met but will be some time later, e.g. network is not yet
|
|
fully setup.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">By using

<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">Please note

that <b>ExitLevel = 1</b> is kind of a workaround option.

While it may help under some circumstances, it is better to

|
solve the problem at its origin, e.g. properly implementing

dependencies in your startup script to ensure all network

the same as specifying <b>-m</b> on the command line.
|

<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ConnectionTimeout</b></p>
|
|
|

whether a timeout has occured or not. The default is FALSE.
|
|
Setting this to TRUE is non-standard behavior. Use only if

<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>PidFile</b></p>
|
|
|

|
<i>argument</i> is the full pathname of a pid file. The pid
|
|
file contains is single line containing the process id of

|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Write a log file. The
|
|
<i>argument</i> 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 same as specifying <b>-l</b> on the command line.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>KmsData</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Use a KMS data file. The
|
|
<i>argument</i> is the full pathname of a KMS data file. By
|
|
default vlmcsd only contains the minimum product data that
|
|
is required to perform all operations correctly. You may use
|
|
a more complete KMS data file that contains all detailed
|
|
product names. This is especially useful if you are logging
|
|
KMS requests. If you don’t log, there is no need to
|
|
load an external KMS data file.</p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. The

default is FALSE. If you set this to TRUE <b>vlmcsd</b>(8)
|
|
checks if the client time differs no more than four hours
|
|
from the system time. This is useful to prevent emulator
|
|
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,

time after you started <b>vlmcsd</b>(8).</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>MaintainClients</b></p>

|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%;">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,
|
|
<b>vlmcsd</b>(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. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) can be reset
|
|
from this condition by restarting it. If FALSE is used,
|
|
<b>vlmcsd</b>(8) reports current active clients as good as
|
|
possible. If no client sends an "overcharge
|
|
request", it is not possible to detect <b>vlmcsd</b>(8)
|
|
as an emulator with
|
|
<b>MaintainClients </b>= 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.</p>
|

|
<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">If you start

<b>vlmcsd</b>(8) from an internet superserver, this setting

If you specify FALSE (the default), <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) starts

up as a fully "charged" KMS server. Clients

activate immediately. <b>StartEmpty </b>= TRUE
|
|
lets you start up <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) with an empty CMID list.
|
|
Activation will start when the required minimum 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 administrator". You may use <b>vlmcs</b>(1)
|
|
or another KMS client emulator to "charge"
|
|
<b>vlmcsd</b>(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

<p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ActivationInterval</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:22%;">This is the same as specifying

3d. Please note that the KMS client decides itself when to
|
|
renew activation. Even though vlmcsd sends the renewal
|
|
interval you specify, it is no more than some kind of
|
|
recommendation to the client. Older KMS clients did follow

the recommendation from a KMS server or emulator. Newer

clients do not.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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 the

wild.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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 know how these "valid"
|
|
ePIDs look like exactly, do not use GUIDS in vlmcsd.ini.

vlmcsd provides internal mechanisms to generate valid

ePIDs.</p>

|

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you use

|
non-ASCII characters in your ePID (you shouldn’t do

anyway), these must be in UTF-8 format. This is especially

important when you run vlmcsd on Windows or cygwin because

UTF-8 is not the default encoding for most editors.</p>

specifying an optional HWID it follows the same syntax as in
