...Weiss man schon welche Komponenten, bzw. wieviele abweichen dürfen, bis ein neuer Schlüssel fällig wird?
Sherlock
Windows Activation Technology (WAT)
The actual algorithm that Microsoft uses is not disclosed, but we do know the weighting of components is as follows, from highest to lowest:
Motherboard (and CPU)
Hard drive
Network interface card (NIC)
Graphics card
RAM
If you just add a new hard disk or add new
RAM, there is no issue. If you create an image of your Windows installation on another hard disk and swap that hard disk into the system and boot from it, or if you replace all your
RAM and reboot, WAT gets triggered and checks to see whether you must reactivate Windows.
