I have many time changes Motherboards, phoned up MS told them of this
problem and then they gave me the code to make it work again! I did this as
recently as June of last year.

"Transferring Desktop Operating System Licences on Pre-installed
Software
Desktop Operating System software (such as Windows Vista and XP) that
is pre-installed on PCs cannot be transferred; which means it lives
and dies with the 'machine' it was installed on, unless repaired under
warranty. We define the 'machine' as the motherboard."



which means that your OEM licence, probably illegally purchased cannot
be transferred to another machine, an upgraded machine or a repaired
machine if that repair means a new motherboard.



M$ stitches you up.
