if you change a critical component of your machine... like a motherboard or a processor. windows would behave as if it has been switched to a different machine.
would ask for re-activation. the process is supposed to be automated. it shows you some random numbers that you have to give to microsoft system...
my experience with indian folks was annoying. i was accused of being a pirate just because i did not have the media with me. it worked great with an IVR with Microsoft's system through Skype.
you are given some random numbers that you have to feed in the revalidate your windows popup box. that's how i am continuing to use my installation. i had changed the motherboard and processor last year and i went through the whole messy thing.
