If you are re-installing to the same hardware configuration, it will re-activate over the Internet without complaining.
In fact if you are re-installing after some period of time (I don't know how long, in my case it was at least a year), re-activation won't care that you have a different hardware configuration. And in the event that re-activation via the Internet fails, yes, Microsoft answers the phone 24x7 for re-activation problems. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Holsberg Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 3:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Reformatting HD Wayne Johnson wrote: > At 03:35 PM 9/6/2005, Pete Holsberg typed: > >> Is this true? > > > Yepper. And you weren't going to tell me? I'm sure glad I've procrastinated -- is Microsoft "home" on the weekend? ;-) Incidentally, this was in an email from PCWorld and it referenced two articles they published about reinstalling, etc. http://1url.org/go/1dc1 http://1url.org/go/12zg -- Pete Holsberg Columbus, NJ -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
