    CoreCountrySpecific is for zh-CN only, isn't it?

    Btw, haven't you thought, if I take two LPs - ZH-CN and RU-RU for example.
    I take license and catalog files from ZH-CN, and all binary files from RU-RU (renaming them to be like ZH-CN)
    Would that work?

    It potentially would work if only contents remain un-touched.

    Same applies to 19042? How to get EnterpriseS? I can't install enablement package on 19041.
    Do I need specific first 19042 build to repeat what you showed us in 19041.1_PRO-to-ENTS_amd64_en-US.zip
    I doubt 19042.1 exists

    I wasn't able to install only the enablement update, after which normal SKU becomes 20H2. EntS didn't accept update
    But can I /apply-unnatend and add license file to PRO 20H2 to get EntS 20H2?

    Yes. But I am not good at it. You need a Master.

    Sooner or later, when the image base was reset, the registry will be removed.

    Add a command line to Import this registry at top of the script you show EnterpriseS and activation status.

    For example:

    1. Copy EnterpriseS.bat and EnterpriseS.reg to C:\Users\Default
    2. Import Run.reg

    Then it will silently import the registry at every boot , and hence the OS is always EnterpriseS.

    Could we put the "owner" there which belong to professional mum file. Will it be deleted also by dism cleaning?
    I'm just curious about the limitation of deleting package registers by dism if some owner are writing down there. :D

    How you did that?
    Rename enterpriseS files to pro?
    Or pro got stage/removed?

    I have tried to make a project like that but it requires 6 basic steps for me. And the results were very disappointing. I can't install it as usual, but I have to go through another application to install it.
    1. Staging Professional.
    2. Install EnterpriseS
    3. Rename EnterpriseS files to Professional package files.
    4. Remove Professional
    5. Staging EnterpriseS
    5. Install "The Professional" files which got at step 2.
    6. Remove EnterpriseS.
    ;)

    Yes, I see that.
    But for me, that is not "real" reconstruction". It just converting between SKUs. :D
