Ratiborus KMS Tools

About this release

This is a collection rather than a single program. One launcher opens a menu of small utilities, each of which handles a different piece of system and suite management, and every tool in the set can also be run on its own. The collection has been maintained for years and the individual utilities are updated independently as the systems they work with change.

The launcher is the whole interface. It lists the tools, shows the version of each, and runs them without installing anything, which is why the collection is usually kept on a stick rather than on the machine. Nothing is written to the system by the launcher itself.

The individual utilities cover system state inspection, edition and configuration management for Windows and for the Office suites, ticket and status reporting, and a set of small helpers for checking what a machine currently has installed and how it is configured. Each has its own small window and its own log pane.

Because the set is portable, the usual pattern is to keep it alongside the other tools a technician carries and run it from there. It does not register itself, does not add a service, and leaves nothing behind when the stick is removed.

Status inspection

Report on current system and suite configuration in a readable pane.

Logging
