A Dockerized KMS (Key Management Service) server that can activate Windows and volume-licensed Microsoft Office products indefinitely. It ships as a small container image with an optional web GUI companion image for managing activations.

Use cases

  • activate windows and office in a lab environment
  • self-host a kms activation server
  • activate volume license office installations
  • run a kms server in docker
  • manage windows activations with a web gui

When to choose

  • you need to repeatedly activate Windows/Office VMs in labs or homelabs
  • you want a lightweight, self-hosted KMS with a web interface
  • you prefer containerized infrastructure with persistent activation database

When to avoid

  • you need legally licensed retail activation for production systems
  • your organization requires official Microsoft KMS infrastructure
  • you cannot run Docker or expose port 1688 on your network
