I have a piece of software that is locked to one
computer by a serial number, an activation code and what the software
company calls a system ID number
The format of this ID number is as follows: 09369D 30A3E8 ( my current
SID according to the company)
or 402919 226F85 (The SID the company says the software is locked to)
What is this ID number?
1. HDD volume number?
2. HDD serial number(Factory number)?
3. Or what else could it be?
Is it possible to change the newest ID number back to the old one?
The only thing that has happened is that I had to re-format my hard
drive and re-install the OS. (Media Center XP 2005) and XP SP3
I really quick solution would be to pay $40..00 again for a new serial
number for the current SID. What a rip off.
I know companies are worried about software piracy, but this is
paranoid.
