Â That's one advantage with GNU/Linux - whilst paid for (commercial) versions only get supported on the machine it is installed to you can install on as many different machines as you like!

tallanddopey   10 #38 Posted March 6, 2013 Just do what everyone does when they need a new key for a microsoft product, ring them up and tell them that you have a new motherboard as the old one was faulty and you need to re-install, simple.  Also at what stage do you have a new pc? is it getting a whole new one, is it changing the motherboard, ram and cpu is it just changing the hard drive. seems like a load of bull to me coming from micro$oft that they simply will not be able or legally able to enforce.
