vlmcsd KMS Emulator on fly.io

Run your own KMS Emulator server for free (within free tier) on fly.io

Note

On 2024, fly.io will now charge $2/mo for a dedicated IPv4 address, but everything under $5 bill monthly is waved, so if you have 2 or fewer dedicated IPv4, it is still free.

Activate your Windows and Microsoft Office via KMS without leaving traces of activator in your PC.

Tip

With the introduction of Ohook activation method on Microsoft Office, hosting your own KMS Emulator is not needed anymore.
