| 274010 | 2004-09-20 09:05:00 | ive read somewhere that when you add an important piece of hardware it triggers windows to activate it, what do you do there then? would this happen if i install a graphics card? | Patrick 2003 (277) | ||
| 274011 | 2004-09-20 09:48:00 | It takes about 5 items changed to trigger it (or a new motherboard). Then you ring MS and talk to them. If its genuine, a new activation is allowed. NEVER had it happen though. And have changed a lot. Activations have always succeeded. The 4 month rule perhaps, but really its a non-issue. |
