vlmcsd is a KMS (Key Management Service) emulator written in C that can activate Windows and Microsoft Office products. It runs as a daemon on a wide range of platforms including Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Solaris, macOS, iOS, and Windows.

Use cases

  • activate windows and office via kms on my lan
  • run a local kms server on a raspberry pi or router
  • emulate a kms host without installing windows
  • self-host a kms activation server for testing
  • activate office volume license editions offline

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, portable KMS emulator that runs on almost any OS or embedded device
  • you want a command-line daemon with no dependencies
  • you need to activate volume-licensed Microsoft products on an isolated network

When to avoid

  • you need a licensed, officially supported KMS host from Microsoft
  • you want a GUI-managed activation solution
  • your use case involves activating retail or OEM licenses, which KMS does not cover
