[TriLUG] F/LOSS KMS package or virtual appliance?

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

Maybe someone will have something useful to assist.  The only set of KMS 
machines (virtual appliances) I deployed were Quantum key management 
appliances for backups.  They're proprietary, and it's been 4-5 years 
since I did it.

(e.g., I'm adding one more negative result to your search).
