True, but in the case of Windows activation, a test for one PC and Windows version might not tell you much about the same test on another PC or Windows version. If I understand it correctly, a single hardware change might be the final cumulative change needed to trigger re-activation, if other previous changes had been made. One person could report: "I changed the network card and it was OK", somebody else could report: "I changed a hard disk drive and it was OK", and somebody else "I changed my motherboard but kept my HDD and PCI network card and it was OK" and we might incorrectly conclude that all of those could be changed and all would be OK. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457054.aspx "At each login, Windows XP checks to see that it is running on the same or similar hardware that it was activated on. If it detects that the hardware is "substantially different", reactivation is required." There is less technical info available about Vista or 7 activation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Windows 8 Center - In partnership with Sourceforge Your idea - your app - 30 days.
