Lots of stuff left over from 11notes, please give me time to update

Activate any version of Windows and Office, forever

http://kms.ii1.net

What can I do with this? This image will run a KMS server you can use to activate any version of Windows and Office, forever. Why was this created? Because the upstream loser 11notes likes to leave breaking bugs in his code, this one here "Error 0x2a 0x80070216" has been fixed in this release and has a new UI with tons of new features!

Works with:

• Windows Vista
• Windows 7

• Windows 10
• Windows 11
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows Server 2008 R2

Add your key via cmd

slmgr /ipk D764K-2NDRG-47T6Q-P8T8W-YP6DF

Add your KMS server via cmd

slmgr /skms kms.yourdomain.com:1688

Add your KMS server information to server via registry

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" -Name "KeyManagementServiceName" -Value "KMS_IP"
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform" -Name "KeyManagementServicePort" -Value "KMS_PORT"

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform" -Name "KeyManagementServiceName" -Value "KMS_IP"
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform" -Name "KeyManagementServicePort" -Value "KMS_PORT"

Activate server

slmgr /ato

*Alot of these don't do anything yet, however they will at some point. All default values have been preserved and hardcoded.

*These should all work as they are ported right from py-kms 'next' branch

These are the main tags for the image. There is also a tag for each commit and its shorthand sha256 value.

• 2.0.1
• 2.0.1-gui

There is a reminder in the web UI to let you know when its time to update.... like any normal docker app, eg. the arr family. Why should you keep up with the latest release? Because I believe in fixing bugs, adding improvements and providing a overall pleasant user experience, no fuss, no hassle.

If you still insist on having the last stable release of this app, simply use the :2.0.1 tag. You will stay on the stable version of the app, regardless of breaking changes or security issues or what so ever. You do this at your own risk!

docker pull mcrook250/ms-kms:latest
docker pull mcrook250/kms-gui:latest
docker pull ghcr.io/11notes/kms:1.0.1 <- old not used anymore
docker pull quay.io/11notes/kms:1.0.1 <- old and not used anymore

11notes - "This image supports unraid by default. Simply add -unraid to any tag and the image will run as 99:100 instead of 1000:1000 causing no issues on unraid. Enjoy." This should just work out of the box. No messing around, no special version. Report if you have bugs!

• mcrook250/ms-kms

• mcrook250/ms-kms
• mcrook250/kms-gui

• Do not expose this image to WAN! You will get notified from Microsoft via your ISP to terminate the service if you do so
• Microsoft LICD
• Use mcrook250/kms-gui if you want to see the clients you activated in a nice NEW web UI and features!
• Look for easter eggs, I have and always will include these little goodies!

This image is provided to you at your own risk. Always make backups before updating an image to a different version. Check the releases for breaking changes.
