KMS emulation: The toolkit commonly includes a KMS server emulator that attempts to activate products by mimicking Microsoft’s Key Management Service. This usually involves creating a local service or scheduled task and pointing the OS/Office at a local KMS host.
Product key manipulation: It can install or remove product keys (slmgr-related operations on Windows, ospp.vbs or other Office licensing tools) to change activation state.
File/config changes: May modify system licensing files, registry keys under licensing-related hives, Windows services, scheduled tasks, and HOSTS file or network settings to redirect activation network calls.
Persistence: To survive reboots and re-activation checks, the toolkit may install services or scheduled tasks that reapply the KMS host or reactivate periodically.
