[23:53:26] <exec> 08└─Thanks for that, I was thinking of KMS in the context of DRM (the other kind). Confusion like that just screams to me the need to move away from TLAs.

[23:53:30] <exec> 08└─Interesting. However, screw the emulator, and run a rogue KMS server on whole networks.. Run it on a dedicated VM to serve the entire network by redirecting everything to those networks to it via the router. It's easy to do with BSD and you can fake entire networks as being owned and operated by you...
