  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

  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>

  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

  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>LogDateAndTime</b></p>
  248. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. The
  249. default is TRUE. If set to FALSE, logging output does not
  250. include date and time. This is useful if you log to
  251. <b>stdout</b>(3) which is redirected to another logging
  252. mechanism that already includes date and time in its output,
  253. for instance <b>systemd-journald</b>(8). If you log to
  254. <b>syslog</b>(3), <b>LogDateAndTime</b> is ignored and date
  255. and time will never be included in the output sent to
  256. <b>syslog</b>(3). Using the command line you control this
  257. setting with options <b>-T0</b> and <b>-T1</b>.</p>
  258. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>LogVerbose</b></p>
  259. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Set this to either TRUE or
  260. FALSE. The default is FALSE. If set to TRUE, more details of
  261. each activation will be logged. You use <b>-v</b> and
  262. <b>-q</b> in the command line to control this setting.
  263. <b>LogVerbose</b> has an effect only if you specify a log
  264. file or redirect logging to <b>stdout</b>(3).</p>
  265. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>WhitelistingLevel</b></p>
  266. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be 0, 1, 2 or 3. The
  267. default is 0. Sets the whitelisting level to determine which
  268. products vlmcsd activates or refuses.</p>
  269. <p style="margin-left:29%; margin-top: 1em"><b>0</b>:
  270. activate all products with an unknown, retail or

  284. <p>The SKU ID is not checked. Like a genuine KMS server
  285. vlmcsd activates a product that has a random or unknown SKU
  286. ID. If you select <b>1</b> or <b>3</b>, vlmcsd also checks
  287. the Application ID for correctness. If Microsoft introduces
  288. a new KMS ID for a new product, you cannot activate it if
  289. you used <b>1</b> or <b>3</b> until a new version of vlmcsd
  290. is available.</p></td></tr>

  292. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>CheckClientTime</b></p>
  293. <p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be TRUE or FALSE. The
  294. default is FALSE. If you set this to TRUE <b>vlmcsd</b>(8)
  295. checks if the client time differs no more than four hours
  296. from the system time. This is useful to prevent emulator
  297. detection. A client that tries to detect an emulator could
  298. simply send two subsequent request with two time stamps that
  299. differ more than four hours from each other. If both
  300. requests succeed, the server is an emulator. If you set this
  301. to TRUE on a system with no reliable time source,
  302. activations will fail. It is ok to set the correct system
  303. time after you started <b>vlmcsd</b>(8).</p>

  306. default). Disables (FALSE) or enables (TRUE) maintaining a
  307. list of client machine IDs (CMIDs). TRUE is useful to
  308. prevent emulator detection. By maintaing a CMID list,
  309. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) reports current active clients exactly like
  310. a genuine KMS emulator. This includes bug compatibility to
  311. the extent that you can permanently kill a genuine KMS
  312. emulator by sending an &quot;overcharge request&quot; with a
  313. required client count of 376 or more and then request
  314. activation for 671 clients. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) can be reset
  315. from this condition by restarting it. If FALSE is used,
  316. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) reports current active clients as good as
  317. possible. If no client sends an &quot;overcharge
  318. request&quot;, it is not possible to detect <b>vlmcsd</b>(8)
  319. as an emulator with
  320. <b>MaintainClients&nbsp;</b>=&nbsp;FALSE. Maintaining
  321. clients requires the allocation of a buffer that is about 50
  322. kB in size. On hardware with few memory resources use it
  323. only if you really need it.</p>

  325. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) from an internet superserver, this setting
  326. cannot be used. Since <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) exits after each

  331. If you specify FALSE (the default), <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) starts
  332. up as a fully &quot;charged&quot; KMS server. Clients
  333. activate immediately. <b>StartEmpty&nbsp;</b>=&nbsp;TRUE
  334. lets you start up <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) with an empty CMID list.
  335. Activation will start when the required minimum clients (25
  336. for Windows Client OSses, 5 for Windows Server OSses and
  337. Office) have registered with the KMS server. As long as the
  338. minimum client count has not been reached, clients end up in
  339. HRESULT 0xC004F038 &quot;The count reported by your Key
  340. Management Service (KMS) is insufficient. Please contact
  341. your system administrator&quot;. You may use <b>vlmcs</b>(1)
  342. or another KMS client emulator to &quot;charge&quot;
  343. <b>vlmcsd</b>(8). Setting this parameter to TRUE does not
  344. improve emulator detection prevention. It&rsquo;s primary
  345. purpose is to help developers of KMS clients to test
  346. &quot;charging&quot; a KMS server.</p>
  347. <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>ActivationInterval</b></p>
  348. <p style="margin-left:22%;">This is the same as specifying
  349. <b>-A</b> on the command line. See <b>vlmcsd</b>(8) for
  350. details. The default is 2 hours. Example:
  351. ActivationInterval&nbsp;=&nbsp;1h</p>

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

  355. details. The default is 7 days. Example: RenewalInterval =
  356. 3d. Please note that the KMS client decides itself when to
  357. renew activation. Even though vlmcsd sends the renewal
  358. interval you specify, it is no more than some kind of
  359. recommendation to the client. Older KMS clients did follow
  360. the recommendation from a KMS server or emulator. Newer
  361. clients do not.</p>
