+   KMS38 Protection:
+====================================================================================================
+
+ - If you don't know what KMS38 is, then first check it in the Read Me.
+
+ - By default, a KMS38 Activation is vulnerable to unintended overwriting/replacement and 
+   neutralization by a 180-Day KMS Activator (non-KMS38 Activator).
+   However, with a few tricks you can ensure that no alternative KMS Activator can replace KMS38 
+   Activation by accident or even on purpose. This script demonstrate how to do/undo that.
+
+ - Protect KMS38:
+   - How does KMS38 Protection work?
+     In the KMS activation method, the Windows Operating System first checks the KMS IP registered 
+     as a specific KMS, and if that is not defined then it checks the Global KMS IP.
+     Another fact is that if LocalHost (127.0.0.2) is defined as KMS IP in the Windows 8.1 and 10 OS's
+     then Windows will not accept it as a valid KMS IP.
+     This script simply utilizes the above facts to protect the KMS38 activation from being 
+     overwritten by any alternative 'normal' 180-Day KMS Activation.
+
+     Script steps-
+     - Check if Windows is activated with KMS38, if yes,
+     - Set that Windows edition specific KMS IP to LocalHost (127.0.0.2),
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f\XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
+where X is Windows edition Activation ID.
+
+     - Lock this Registry with Reg_takeownership snippet by @AveYo aka @BAU
+       pastebin.com/XTPt0JSC
+     - Done.
+
+ - Unprotect KMS38:
+   - Just undo above steps,
+     - Give administrator full control of that mentioned registry key.
+     - Delete that registry key.
+     - Done.
