Activate Windows/Office (Run KMS Docker / Install KMS)

What is the Key Management Service (KMS)?
The Key Management Service (KMS) is an activation service that allows organizations to activate systems within their own network, eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft for product activation. It does not require a dedicated system and can be easily co-hosted on a system that provides other services.

 
This post is to show how to run KMS Docker, How to install KMS and how to use KMS to activate your windows and office software.

Using KMS Docker

docker pull luodaoyi/kms-server
docker run -d -p 1688:1688 --restart=always --name="kms" luodaoyi/kms-server

Configure Windows System to Use KMS server

Run following commands from an elevated privilege command line window. 

slmgr /skms ip:1688

If you are using default port 1688, slmgr /skms ip

(slmgr /skms 192.168.2.8)

activate your machine

slmgr /ato

check activation status

slmgr /xpr

You should be able to find the KMS server reference in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

Look for the KeyManagementServiceName data and this should return your KMS server. Do a ping of this and it should then return you the IP address of the KMS server.

Install KMS on Linux System

Log in as root user

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/teddysun/across/raw/master/kms.sh && chmod +x kms.sh && ./kms.sh

Check port 1688

netstat -nxtlp | grep 1688

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1688                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      3200/vlmcsd         
tcp        0      0 :::1688                     :::*                        LISTEN      3200/vlmcsd 

The script will automatically enable KMS service and add it into reboot start list.

Commands:
Start：/etc/init.d/kms start
Stop：/etc/init.d/kms stop
Restart：/etc/init.d/kms restart
Status：/etc/init.d/kms status

Uninstall：
Log in as root user
