Will replacing my motherboard with another brand de-activate my OEM Windows 7 ?
I've just replaced my damaged Gigabyte board with an Asus ... identical P55 chipset so no changes were needed on the Hard Drive.
I now get a message from windows activation saying I have 24 days left to activate.
Online activation tells me the product key cannot be used on this machine.
Retyping the Product key gives the same.
It's an OEM 64-bit version installed by Evetech when I bought the original system 18 months ago. I have the original disc.
Anybody who can help ?
You need to reactivate over the phone with OEM.
I have done this before.
Custom 600T | i7 950@3.82GHz | 16GB DDR3 1600 | GTX 580 3GB x2 SLI | Force GT 120GB SSD | 23"@1920x1080
call the Microsoft activation center.
You only get one chance to piss off a client. After that they are an ex client ...
Just call MS and activate using the phone system...their voice prompts are very suggestive, even for pirates...
Call the activation centre and tell them you had to reload due to problems

Or if you are tired of jumping through these hoops as legit user google Daz's Windows Loader. Won't ever have the problem again.
