    Hi all,

    I am searching for smart and easy solution for a KMS38 Activation (Server) (UWP-App)
    for the Raspberry Pi3B(+) Hardware with Windows 10 IoT Core as a base OS.

    Is there any idea or project (source code) available, to recompile with Visual Studio 2017
    as a UWP-App for the Windows 10 IoT Platform to have a KMS Activation Service for VL.

    Supported Microsoft Products:
    (32-bit and 64-bit)
    Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 (v1803) All VL Editions
    Windows Server 2008/2008R2/2012/2012R2/2016/2019 All Editions
    Office 2010 Family on Windows XP SP3 or newer
    Office 2013 Family on Windows 7 or later
    Office 2016 Family on Windows 7 SP1 or later
    Office 2019 Family on Windows 10 or later
    Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
    Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise
    Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise

    Thanks
    JBL

    What you are trying to achieve can be done in Rasbian with Vlmscd

    and then the vlmcsd binary in /usr/local/sbin/, use
    Code:
    systemctl enable vlmcsd
    to enable at boot and
    Code:
    systemctl start vlmcsd
    to start it

    Hi Tommy,

    thank you for the solution to use the vlmcsd from Hotbird64.

    My problem is now, to use the existing source from vlmcsd and build up a new project with Visual Studio and include the code.

    I am not an expert, but I will train my self with this small project to learn more :)

    From my understanding I need the following steps to build this project for IoT.

    1. Visual Studio 2017 Community
    2. Windows IoT Core Extension for VS Code / the UWP

    1. New Project > Visual C++ > UWP or Background APP with CMD for the LOGs?
    2. Include the source in this new project.
    3. Compile / Debugging?

    Is there any open point or missing here?

    Thanks
    JBL

    Yes you are missing that it isn't a C++ app, isn't UWP and won't run on Windows IoT.

    1) Setup/run vlcmsd on any other device on your network, another Pi or a desktop/laptop.
    2) Leave it attached to the same network as your Win10 IoT Pi
    3) On your Win10 IoT Pi set the KMS host to the IP address or hostname of your device running the KMS server.
    4) Activate Win10 IoT and it will succeed.

    KMS38 is an offline hack, it doesn't need or work with KMS server

    Hi Agret,

    is it not possible to migrate the VLMSD C Code to C++ (as a UWP APP) but with out a GUI, only as a terminal / CMD / console / RD(P)?

    Clear KMS38 is a offline hack :) out of the focus for this smal project!

    Thanks

    Hello Guys,

    I have a doubt what kind of windows 10 version should be used on a PC standard Thin Client.
    Is Windows 10 enterprise or 10 iot?
    WES7 was great, but now Microsoft dropped this kind of system...

    Thanks in advance

    You should try Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019

    You can also use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC

    Hi,
    I installed win 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC on my PC using en_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2019_x64_dvd_a1aa819f.iso . Activated it using LTSC MAK key but the system info doesn't show up IOT Enterprise but only LTSC Enterprise. Can someone help me in this regard? Thanks LTSC.png

    Separate IoT Enterprise editions exist since 1903. In 1809 IoT Enterprise LTSC is simply Enterprise LTSC with OEM key installed instead Volume:GVLK. There is absolutely no point in installing IoT Enterprise LTSC because you will end up with normal Enterprise LTSC with different key installed by default, which you changed to Volume anyway...

    Also: You have written in Raspberry Pi thread which has absolutely nothing to do with your "problem".
