  41. <a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
  42. </h2>
  43. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>vlmcsd.ini</b>
  44. (or simply called the &quot;ini file&quot;) is a
  45. configuration file for <b>vlmcsd</b>(8). By default vlmcsd
  46. does not use a configuration file. It is completely optional
  47. and for advanced users only. You must use the <b>-i</b>
  48. option on the vlmcsd command line to use an ini file. There
  49. is no default name or default location for the ini file.</p>
  50. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Everything,
  51. that can be configured in the ini file, may also be
  52. specified on the command line. Any configuration option
  53. specified on the command line takes precedence over the
  54. respective configuration line in the ini file.</p>
  55. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Benefits of
  56. a configuration file</b></p>
  57. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">While you can
  58. use the configuration file to simply modify the default
  59. behavior of vlmcsd, it can also be used to change the
  60. configuration of vlmcsd after you sent a HUP
  61. <b>signal</b>(7). Whenever you send SIGHUP, the
  62. configuration file will be re-read. Any changes you made to
  63. the ini file will be reflected after vlmcsd received the
  64. hangup signal.</p>
  65. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Differences
  66. between command line and configuration file</b></p>
  67. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you specify
  68. an illegal option or option argument on the command line,
  69. vlmcsd displays help and exits. If you specify an incorrect
  70. <i>keyword</i> or <i>argument</i> in the ini file, vlmcsd
  71. displays a warning with some information, ignores the
  72. respective line and continues. This is intentional and
  73. prevents vlmcsd from aborting after a SIGHUP if the
  74. configuration was modified incorrectly.</p>
  75. <h2>SYNTAX
  76. <a name="SYNTAX"></a>
  77. </h2>
  78. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">vlmcsd.ini is a
  79. UTF-8 encoded text file with each line being in the format
  80. <i>keyword</i> = <i>argument</i>. The <i>keyword</i> is not
  81. case-sensitive. The <i>argument</i> is treated literally. It
  82. is neither required nor allowed to enclose the
  83. <i>argument</i> in any form of quote characters except when
  84. quote characters are part of the argument itself. Whitespace
  85. characters are ignored only</p>
  86. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- at the
  87. beginning of a line <br>
  88. - between the <i>keyword</i> and &rsquo;=&rsquo; <br>
  89. - between &rsquo;=&rsquo; and the <i>argument</i></p>
  90. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Lines, that
  91. start with &rsquo;#&rsquo; or &rsquo;;&rsquo; are treated as
  92. comments. Empty lines are ignored as well. If a
  93. <i>keyword</i> is repeated in another line, vlmcsd will use
  94. the <i>argument</i> of the last occurence of the
  95. <i>keyword</i>. An exception to this is the Listen
  96. <i>keyword</i> which can be specified multiple times and
  97. causes vlmcsd to listen on more than one IP address and/or
  98. port.</p>
  99. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Some
  100. <i>argument</i>s are binary arguments that need to be either
  101. TRUE or FALSE. You can use &quot;Yes&quot;, &quot;On&quot;
  102. or &quot;1&quot; as an alias for TRUE and &quot;No&quot;,
  103. &quot;Off&quot; or &quot;0&quot; as an alias for FALSE.
  104. Binary arguments are case-insensitive.</p>
  105. <h2>KEYWORDS
  106. <a name="KEYWORDS"></a>
  107. </h2>
  108. <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
  109. <i>keyword</i>s are defined (not all keywords may be
  110. available depending on the operating system and the options
  111. used when <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) was compiled):</p>

  119. <td width="78%">
  120. <p>This defines on what combinations of IP addresses and
  121. ports vlmcsd should listen. <b>Listen</b> can be specified
  122. more than once. The <i>argument</i> has the form
  123. <i>ipaddress</i>[:<i>port</i>]. If you omit the <i>port</i>,
  124. the default port of 1688 is used. If the <i>ipaddress</i>
  125. contains colons and a <i>port</i> is used, you must enclose
  126. the <i>ipaddress</i> in brackets. The default is to listen
  127. to 0.0.0.0:1688 and [::]:1688 which means listen to all IPv4
  128. and all IPv6 addresses. See the <b>-L</b> option in
  129. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) for more info about the syntax. If you use
  130. <b>-L</b> or <b>-P</b> on the command line, all
  131. <b>Listen</b> keywords in the ini file will be ignored. The
  132. <b>Listen</b> keyword cannot be used if vlmcsd has been
  133. compiled to use Microsoft RPC (Windows and Cygwin only) or
  134. simple sockets.</p></td></tr>

  156. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE,
  157. you can use the <b>Listen</b> keyword with IP addresses that
  158. are currently not defined on your system. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8)
  159. will start listening on these IP addresses as soon as they
  160. become available. This keyword is only available under Linux
  161. and FreeBSD because no other OS currently supports that
  162. feature. FreeBSD supports this only for IPv4 and requires
  163. the PRIV_NETINET_BINDANY privilege which is normally
  164. assigned to proccesses of the root user.</p>
  165. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>PublicIPProtectionLevel</b></p>

  180. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. Specifies
  181. whether you want to use the NDR64 transfer syntax. See
  182. options <b>-n0</b> and <b>-n1</b> in <b>vlmcsd</b>(8). The
  183. default is TRUE.</p>
  184. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>UseBTFN</b></p>
  185. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. Specifies
  186. whether you want to use bind time feature negotiation in
  187. RPC. See options <b>-b0</b> and <b>-b1</b> in
  188. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8). The default is TRUE.</p>
  189. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>RandomizationLevel</b></p>
  190. <p style="margin-left:22%;">The <i>argument</i> must 0, 1
  191. or 2. This specifies the ePID randomization level. See
  192. options <b>-r0</b>, <b>-r1</b> and <b>-r2</b> in
  193. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8). The default randomization level is 1. A
  194. <b>RandomizationLevel</b> of 2 is not recommended and should

  207. should use an offcial LCID. A list of assigned LCIDs can be
  208. found at

  212. </table>
  213. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>MaxWorkers</b></p>
  214. <p style="margin-left:22%;">The <i>argument</i> specifies
  215. the maximum number of worker processes or threads that will
  216. be used to serve activation requests concurrently. This is
  217. the same as specifying <b>-m</b> on the command line.
  218. Minimum is 1. The maximum is platform specific and is at
  219. least 32767 but is likely to be greater on most systems. The
  220. default is no limit.</p>
  221. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ConnectionTimeout</b></p>
  222. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Used to control when the vlmcsd
  223. disconnects idle TPC connections. The default is 30 seconds.
  224. This is the same setting as <b>-t</b> on the command
  225. line.</p>
  226. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>DisconnectClientsImmediately</b></p>
  227. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Set this to TRUE to disconnect
  228. a client after it got an activation response regardless
  229. whether a timeout has occured or not. The default is FALSE.
  230. Setting this to TRUE is non-standard behavior. Use only if
  231. you are experiencing DoS or DDoS attacks. On the command
  232. line you control this behavior with options <b>-d</b> and
  233. <b>-k</b>.</p>
  234. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>PidFile</b></p>
  235. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Write a pid file. The
  236. <i>argument</i> is the full pathname of a pid file. The pid
  237. file contains is single line containing the process id of
  238. the vlmcsd process. It can be used to stop (SIGTERM) or
  239. restart (SIGHUP) vlmcsd. This directive can be overriden
  240. using <b>-p</b> on the command line.</p>
  241. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>LogFile</b></p>
  242. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Write a log file. The
  243. <i>argument</i> is the full pathname of a log file. On a
  244. unixoid OS and with Cygwin you can use the special filename
  245. &rsquo;syslog&rsquo; to log to the syslog facility. This is
  246. the same as specifying <b>-l</b> on the command line.</p>
  247. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>KmsData</b></p>
  248. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Use a KMS data file. The
  249. <i>argument</i> is the full pathname of a KMS data file. By
  250. default vlmcsd only contains the minimum product data that
  251. is required to perform all operations correctly. You may use
  252. a more complete KMS data file that contains all detailed
  253. product names. This is especially useful if you are logging
  254. KMS requests. If you don&rsquo;t log, there is no need to
  255. load an external KMS data file.</p>
  256. <p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">You may use
  257. <b>KmsData&nbsp;=&nbsp;-</b> to prevent the default KMS data
  258. file to be loaded.</p>
  259. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>LogDateAndTime</b></p>
  260. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. The
  261. default is TRUE. If set to FALSE, logging output does not
  262. include date and time. This is useful if you log to
  263. <b>stdout</b>(3) which is redirected to another logging
  264. mechanism that already includes date and time in its output,
  265. for instance <b>systemd-journald</b>(8). If you log to
  266. <b>syslog</b>(3), <b>LogDateAndTime</b> is ignored and date
  267. and time will never be included in the output sent to
  268. <b>syslog</b>(3). Using the command line you control this
  269. setting with options <b>-T0</b> and <b>-T1</b>.</p>
  270. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>LogVerbose</b></p>
  271. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Set this to either TRUE or
  272. FALSE. The default is FALSE. If set to TRUE, more details of
  273. each activation will be logged. You use <b>-v</b> and
  274. <b>-q</b> in the command line to control this setting.
  275. <b>LogVerbose</b> has an effect only if you specify a log
  276. file or redirect logging to <b>stdout</b>(3).</p>
  277. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>WhitelistingLevel</b></p>
  278. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be 0, 1, 2 or 3. The
  279. default is 0. Sets the whitelisting level to determine which
  280. products vlmcsd activates or refuses.</p>
  281. <p style="margin-left:29%; margin-top: 1em"><b>0</b>:
  282. activate all products with an unknown, retail or
  283. beta/preview KMS ID. <b><br>

  285. ID but refuse to activate products with an unknown KMS ID.
  286. <b><br>
  287. 2</b>: activate products with an unknown KMS ID but refuse

  304. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>CheckClientTime</b></p>
  305. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. The
  306. default is FALSE. If you set this to TRUE <b>vlmcsd</b>(8)
  307. checks if the client time differs no more than four hours
  308. from the system time. This is useful to prevent emulator
  309. detection. A client that tries to detect an emulator could
  310. simply send two subsequent request with two time stamps that
  311. differ more than four hours from each other. If both
  312. requests succeed, the server is an emulator. If you set this
  313. to TRUE on a system with no reliable time source,
  314. activations will fail. It is ok to set the correct system
  315. time after you started <b>vlmcsd</b>(8).</p>
  316. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>MaintainClients</b></p>
  317. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE (the
  318. default). Disables (FALSE) or enables (TRUE) maintaining a
  319. list of client machine IDs (CMIDs). TRUE is useful to
  320. prevent emulator detection. By maintaing a CMID list,
  321. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) reports current active clients exactly like
  322. a genuine KMS emulator. This includes bug compatibility to
  323. the extent that you can permanently kill a genuine KMS
  324. emulator by sending an &quot;overcharge request&quot; with a
  325. required client count of 376 or more and then request
  326. activation for 671 clients. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) can be reset
  327. from this condition by restarting it. If FALSE is used,
  328. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) reports current active clients as good as
  329. possible. If no client sends an &quot;overcharge
  330. request&quot;, it is not possible to detect <b>vlmcsd</b>(8)
  331. as an emulator with
  332. <b>MaintainClients&nbsp;</b>=&nbsp;FALSE. Maintaining
  333. clients requires the allocation of a buffer that is about 50
  334. kB in size. On hardware with few memory resources use it
  335. only if you really need it.</p>
  336. <p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">If you start
  337. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) from an internet superserver, this setting
  338. cannot be used. Since <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) exits after each
  339. activation, it cannot maintain any state in memory.</p>
  340. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>StartEmpty</b></p>
  341. <p style="margin-left:22%;">This setting is ignored if you
  342. do not also specify <b>MaintainClients&nbsp;</b>=&nbsp;TRUE.
  343. If you specify FALSE (the default), <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) starts
  344. up as a fully &quot;charged&quot; KMS server. Clients
  345. activate immediately. <b>StartEmpty&nbsp;</b>=&nbsp;TRUE
  346. lets you start up <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) with an empty CMID list.
  347. Activation will start when the required minimum clients (25
  348. for Windows Client OSses, 5 for Windows Server OSses and
  349. Office) have registered with the KMS server. As long as the
  350. minimum client count has not been reached, clients end up in
  351. HRESULT 0xC004F038 &quot;The count reported by your Key
  352. Management Service (KMS) is insufficient. Please contact
  353. your system administrator&quot;. You may use <b>vlmcs</b>(1)
  354. or another KMS client emulator to &quot;charge&quot;
  355. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8). Setting this parameter to TRUE does not
  356. improve emulator detection prevention. It&rsquo;s primary
  357. purpose is to help developers of KMS clients to test
  358. &quot;charging&quot; a KMS server.</p>
  359. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ActivationInterval</b></p>
  360. <p style="margin-left:22%;">This is the same as specifying
  361. <b>-A</b> on the command line. See <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) for
  362. details. The default is 2 hours. Example:
  363. ActivationInterval&nbsp;=&nbsp;1h</p>

  365. <p style="margin-left:22%;">This is the same as specifying

  367. details. The default is 7 days. Example: RenewalInterval =
  368. 3d. Please note that the KMS client decides itself when to
  369. renew activation. Even though vlmcsd sends the renewal
  370. interval you specify, it is no more than some kind of
  371. recommendation to the client. Older KMS clients did follow
  372. the recommendation from a KMS server or emulator. Newer
  373. clients do not.</p>
