Microsoft Toolkit Settings

KMS Options Tab:

KMS Server/Port To Use: Allows you to set what KMS server and port should be use
d when attempting KMS activation. Unless you have a real KMS server or a network
host running a KMS Emulator or Server you will want this set to 127.0.0.2. What
ever the numerical box says will be the used port. KMSEmulator will use this por
t but it must be open on your PC, or the process using it may be terminated.
NOTE: The Office KMS Server/Port is used when activating Office based products a
nd Windows KMS Server/Port when activating Windows based products.
KMS PID To Use: Allows you to set what KMS Extended PID should be used by KMSEmu
lator when attempting KMS activation.
Changing the PID can help fix persistent KMS activation failure or KMS failing G
enuine Validation, but in most cases you want to leave this alone.
You can pass a valid KMS PID, the string DefaultKMSPID to use a hardcoded defaul
t, or RandomKMSPID to generate a random string matching the KMS PID format.
NOTE: The Office PID is used when activating Office based products and Windows P
ID when activating Windows based products.
NOTE: You cannot change the KMS PID used for KMS Activation for KMS Servers. If
a KMS Server fails Genuine Validation, this Setting will not help.
Activate Using KMS Emulator: Uses KMS Emulator to perform KMS activation. Unless
you have a real KMS server or a network host running a KMS Emulator or Server y
ou will want this enabled.
Delete KMS Host/Port After Run: Removes the KMS server name and port from the re
gistry after KMS activation.
Force Open KMS Port By Terminating Processes: Kill any processes using the KMS P
ort so you can run KMS Emulator on that port.
NOTE: This is only performed if KMS Activation fails, allowing KMS Emulator to s
ilently fail and a KMS Server Virtual Machine to be used.
KMS Server Service Tab:
KMS Port To Use: Allows you to set what KMS Port the KMS Server Service will lis
ten on. Any clients using this service must use this KMS Port.
KMS PID To Use: Allows you to set what KMS Extended PID should be used by this s
ervice when sending KMS activation responses to KMS Client applications.
You can pass a valid KMS PID, the string DefaultKMSPID to use a hardcoded defaul
t, or RandomKMSPID to generate a random string matching the KMS PID format.
Force Open KMS Port By Terminating Processes: Kill any processes using the KMS P
ort so you can run KMS Server Service on that port.
