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)

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.
