2. Introduction

Many people use KMS software to activate Windows or Office, I am no exception, have been using HEU KMS Activator.

However, the software found on the Internet is not very reassuring, and is usually regarded as a virus by antivirus software (especially Windows Defender).
And KMS activation is generally only 180 days. To keep it activated, you need to set up timed tasks and execute the KMS program at regular intervals, which gives viruses and malicious programs an opportunity.

In this way, KMS activation directly through CMD or PowerShell is obviously a safer way, although the configuration may be more troublesome.

This article will introduce the deployment of vlmcsd as a resident service in the server, so that the computer can be activated by connecting to the KMS service of the server.
The vlmscd program I'm currently using comes from

Note: The KMS program needs to occupy the 1688 port, and it needs to allow TCP 1688 access in the firewall. If the port is occupied and cannot be started, you can execute the

Bash

     lsof - i:1688  
  

See what program is using the port.

Take Linux CentOS 7 as an example, decompress the program to

/usr/local/vlmcsd/

create a new file

/usr/lib/systemd/system/kms.service
