_py-kms_ is a port of node-kms created by [cyrozap](http://forums.mydigitallife.info/members/183074-markedsword), which is a port of either the C##, C++, or .NET implementations of KMS Emulator. The original version was written by [CODYQX4](http://forums.mydigitallife.info/members/89933-CODYQX4) and is derived from the reverse-engineered code of Microsoft's official KMS.
- Python 3.x or Python 2.7.x or Python 2.6.x with the `argparse` module installed.
- Tkinter module.
- If the `tzlocal` module is installed, the "Request Time" in the verbose output will be converted into local time. Otherwise, it will be in UTC.
- It can use the `sqlite3` module so you can use the database function, storing activation data so it can be recalled again.
- Installation example on Ubuntu / Mint:
-`sudo apt-get update`
- for python3
-`sudo apt-get install python3-tk python3-pip`
-`sudo pip3 install tzlocal pysqlite3`
- or for python2
-`sudo apt-get install python-tk python-pip`
-`sudo pip install tzlocal pysqlite`
## Usage
- __NOTE__: Pay attention to how invoke scripts, if you want to run with python2 use `python...` while for python3 use `python3...`, also depending on the Python versions that resides in your PC.
- To start the server, execute `python pykms_Server.py [IPADDRESS] [PORT]`, the default _IPADDRESS_ is "0.0.0.0" ( all interfaces ) and the default _PORT_ is "1688".
- To run the client (only for testing purposes), use `python pykms_Client.py [IPADDRESS] [PORT]`, with the same defaults of `pykms_Server.py`.
- To show the help pages type: `python pykms_Server.py -h` and `python pykms_Client.py -h`.
- To generate a random HWID use `-w` option: `python pykms_Server.py -w RANDOM`.
- To get the HWID from any server use the client, for example type: `python pykms_Client.py 0.0.0.0 1688 -m Windows8.1 -V INFO`.
- To view a minimal set of logging information use `-V MINI` option, for example: `python pykms_Server.py -F /path/to/your/logfile.log -V MINI`.
- To redirect logging on stdout use `-F STDOUT` option, for example: `python pykms_Server.py -F STDOUT -V DEBUG`.
- You can create logfile and view logging information on stdout at the same time with `-F FILESTDOUT` option, for example: `python pykms_Server.py -F FILESTDOUT /path/to/your/logfile.log -V DEBUG`.
- Select timeout (seconds) for py-kms with `-t` option, for example `python pykms_Server.py -t 10`
- For launching py-kms GUI make executable `pykms_Server.py` file with `chmod +x /path/to/folder/py-kms/pykms_Server.py`, then simply run `pykms_Server.py` double-clicking.
- You can run py-kms deamonized (via [Etrigan](https://github.com/SystemRage/Etrigan)) using a command like: `python pykms_Server.py etrigan start` and stop it with: `python pykms_Server.py etrigan stop`.
- With Etrigan you have another way to launch py-kms GUI (specially suitable if you're using a virtualenv), so: `python pykms_Server.py etrigan start -g`
and stop the GUI with the same precedent command (or interact with EXIT button).
