2.1. Mechanism of Action

• KMS Emulation: Microsoft allows large enterprises to activate computers locally using a KMS host. The toolkit installs a locally hosted KMS emulator on the user's machine.
• Volume License Channels: It targets Volume License (VL) versions of Windows and Office. It converts a machine's license status from "Unlicensed" or "Trial" to "Licensed" by pointing the OS to the local KMS emulator.
• AutoKMS: The software often installs a scheduled task named "AutoKMS" that reruns the activation process periodically (usually every 24 hours or upon boot) to ensure the license remains valid, as KMS activations only last 180 days by default.
