had to reactivate Win 7 due to a hardware change. I have the family pack for 3 PCs. I call them, it asks how many PCs its installed on and I say 3. It says I'm not allowed to do that... Just another reason not to support the developers. At least I got this used, so they got nothing from me.

Plus you could get Office or any other non-Dev/Dev software (depending on the package) software for essentially free. Then they took the Technet Sub price and ramped it up from 400> $750!! You used to be able to get it on special for $258. My brother and I split the cost@129 a piece and got 4 unlimited Ultimate licenses +office and whatever else. It was nice for a while.

Just like with mobile, they want a single license tied to a device. The motherboard changes and its no longer valid.

Regarding tieing a licence to a single motherboard, fortunately for the end user that isn't legally binding despite what MS or any other idiot says.
Software companies have been under this illusion for years.
