Microsoft clarifies Vista activation to bit-tech hacks
Wednesday, November 1st, 2006
Microsoft today talked to bit-tech in a bid to reassure the enthusiast community about the 
licensing terms of Windows Vista.
We previously read that Vista could prove to be a nightmare for enthusiasts who upgrade often, with only one transfer to a new machine allowed and with the license tied to a particular system configuration in a way that was far more limiting than Windows XP.
A Microsoft spokesman from the Licensing Dept told bit-tech that this would not be the case. He told us that Windows Vista will not require a system re-activation unless the hard drive and one other component is changed. This means that enthusiasts will be able to swap CPUs, memory and graphics cards out without any worry about having to re-activate with MS, either on the internet or by phone. bit-tech.net | Microsoft clarifies Vista activation to bit-tech hacks
