Registered too many times????

[Matt]

ok i got a new motherboard and proccessor and when i
installed them it said you've tried to activate windows
too many times using the same registraion key? I see how
it is after we format a few times we have to buy another
copy of windows. really makes me want to use linux

Matt;
You should have read a little further.
Linux won't be any better if you miss this type of step.
You can activate as many times as you want, as long as only one
installation at a time.
Choose the option to activate by phone, call the displayed number to
Microsoft, done in about 5 minutes.
