I had to do an activation on the telephone very recently, because I had removed some components due to some problems. One of these was the processor, which I sent to AMD for testing. I would not have activated when I did, except that somehow the system clock got set back 2 months, and when I reset it, Windows demanded to be activated. Now that I have had the processor returned and needing to be installed, I'm wondering if I will have to activate again, or if the last activation gives me a new set of activations before it squawks again?
