KACE Product Support

I'm sure that most out there aren't running OEM (or Office 2003), but for anyone who might be in the same boat, here's how to reset/remove the EULA and activation (for testing) and an AutoIT script for agreeing to the EULA, activating Office 2003 and disabling Customer Feedback. I had to dig for a while to find the reset stuff, so hopefully will save someone else some time.
