Windows--re-activation....wpa.dbl....?

[sunny3]

Hi...

Have read that re-entering the "wpa.dbl" file back into the system will prevent the need for activation again.

But on some forums it says that the hardware in the system must not have changed...is this true ,or doesn't it matter if the hardware has changed....?

Thanks.

If the hardware has changed in a significant way, you will have to reactiveate. Alex Nichols, MVP has written the clearest explanation I have seen on what "significant" means in this context:
