I think many you guys here were surprised, even shocked as soon as you heard this news. However, Microsoft\u2019s move this time is easy to understand.            Contents                                    1. Batch script is not recommended anymore                            2. Batch script is used to fleece others        1. Batch script is not recommended anymoreKMS commands are developed by Microsoft but the batch scripts are not. They are just contain a batch of KMS commands and written by individuals like me. My purpose of creating the scripts is help you guys save your time instead of running all commands, one by one in the command prompt or Windows power shell. But this method has never been treated as an official method because opening batch file with admin rights is not recommended by Microsoft. For example, if the author inserts the command formatting your disk into the script, all your data will be lost.2. Batch script is used to fleece othersAs you know, my Paypal account has been limited permanently because many people reported me to Paypal and said that I had sold them fake product keys on eBay. Someone has used my name to create an online shop and sell all my scripts. He told buyers a brazen lie that the scripts he sold is the new generation of digital license. It goes without saying people who are willing to spend a few dozen of dollars to order them have never known my site and my work. And they are willing to report the author of the scripts too when they realized the truth without finding out carefully. \ud83d\ude41     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});The move of Microsoft will clear all opportunists and swindlers and I\u2019m all for it. I will replace the KMS scripts from all my posts with the manual method in the coming time. Finally, I would like to thank you guys for always standing by my side. Your support and your encouragement mean a lot to me. It only remains for me to thank.If you would have any questions or concerns, please leave your comments.
