These files are official Microsoft files and in this script, these are used in
cleaning office license in C2R Retail office to VL conversion process.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Some sensitive AV's may flag the Automatic Renewal via the
Task, and not
because of KMS, because for them it's suspicious to run long scripts in the
background as Tasks.
----------------------------------------------------------
- When using Online KMS plus HWID Digital License, Online KMS script will be set
to skip Windows
activation (if the HWID activation was applied but was not successful due to
lack of internet
at the time of installation of Windows) but will register the KMS for other
products, and all
later installed Volume License (VL) products (MS Office) will self-activate when
going online.
- When using Online KMS plus KMS38, Online KMS will not skip Windows activation
but skip KMS38
activation and will register the KMS for other products, and all subsequently-
installed Volume
License (VL) products (MS Office) will self-activate when going online.

-----------------
HWID (Fallback to KMS38):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
- In this method, KMS38 will be used for the activation in case the Windows
version is not
supported by HWID. For example, Windows 10 LTSC and Windows server.
