Anyways, if that were the case I assume there would be a similar system for resetting the installs during the activation period like there is with lets say... Antiviruses and what not.

I've tripped this with VISTA a dozen times betwen my 3 PCs with VISTA. Sometimes I just change one hard drive and I have to re-activate. This is the only thing I don't like about VISTA. It's rather annoying having to call and enter in all those digits. Everything else about VISTA I love. I can't stand using XP anymore.
