KMS is a way to activate Microsoft products that was designed for
medium and large businesses. In a standard SOHO environment you enter a
product key during installation and then activate your product over the
Internet. This is done by sending a request to a server at micro‐
Internet. This is done by sending a request to a server at micro-
soft.com which then either grants or refuses activation.

\fB-r1\fR instructs vlmcsd to generate random ePIDs when the program starts or receives a SIGHUP signal and uses these ePIDs until it is stopped or receives another SIGHUP. Most other KMS emulators generate a new ePID on every KMS request. This is easily detectable. Microsoft could just modify sppsvc.exe in a way that it always sends two identical KMS requests in two RPC requests but over the same TCP connection. If both KMS responses contain the different ePIDs, the KMS server is not genuine. \fB-r1\fR is the default mode. \fB-r1\fR also ensures that all three ePIDs (Windows, Office 2010 and Office 2013) use the same OS build number and LCID (language id).
If vlmcsd has been started by an internet superserver, \fB-r1\fR works almost identically to \fB-r2\fR. The only exception occurs if you send more than one activation request over the same TCP connection. This is simply due to the fact that vlmcsd is started upon a connection request and does not stay in memory after servicing a KMS request. Consider using \fB-r0\fR or \fB-w\fR, \fB-0\fR, \fB-3\fR and \fB-6\fB when starting vlmcsd by an internet superserver.

Differences between command line and configuration file
If you specify an illegal option or option argument on the command
line, vlmcsd displays help and exits. If you specify an incorrect key‐
line, vlmcsd displays help and exits. If you specify an incorrect key-
word or argument in the ini file, vlmcsd displays a warning with some
information, ignores the respective line and continues. This is inten‐
tional and prevents vlmcsd from aborting after a SIGHUP if the configu‐
