Oh...forgot to mention that from time to time I swap hardware in and

When you swap hardware in and out, do you have to re-certify the
system with Microsoft? If so, how big a hassle is that?


It hasn't happened to me yet, but I keep reading about it. I thought for
sure it would have happened with the CPU swap.

I have had to reactivate MS Office and a few other programs when I have
reinstalled my system. All the do is ask you why you are having to
reinstall, I tell them to speed up my machine, and they say ok.

I think the fact that you call up they assume it is a legal copy.
