Hi,

Issues with license codes should be emailed to us at [email protected],
there's no point in posts like these, also i'd appreciate it if you were to be a bit more respectfull in your posts,
this is'nt a very constructive topic imo.

don't change my hardwere, all the same, only reinstall windows

in the end I re-activated, I lost one activation ,...... wonderful system ((( but we do not know if parity here windows?

I am interested in the answer to which is attached octane, you wrote that the hardwere but the windows did not mention

I was glad when bought the license, and now just waiting for cracking ((((((((I guess I'm not the last who reinstalls windows and see invalid lic.

It's not that at all, you can reinstall windows many times you want, even dual boot to Linux if you like and use your given activation code, it will not reflect on your Machine ID, and you will NOT loose any activation count.

If your activation code its not working, you can always compare the ID number you send in the first place and to see if there is any differences.
Track down the problem : if you use previously any external HDD drives, attached on e-sata you will end up with new machine ID. If you add more ram, or if there were any disabled devices in device manager in your previous OS, you should disable them as well on your new OS.
Activation rule apples only if you change your hardware : CPU, MB, HDD... not reinstall windows.
So far if you really doesn't touch your hardware there should't be any troubles.

Please next time just contact Radiance for that sort of matters. He will no doubt help you sort all of your's activation troubles.

Hi,

We've given you 3 activations already in one month, i think we've been quite forthcoming with that.
Also, as i've said a lot of times, after 3 activations it's not finished. We will just review the next application and decide.
So if you send us another key in 2 weeks we might decline as that won't make much sense.

If you reinstall windows and you end up not installing different drivers or not installing all drivers,
the order of hardware might be different or some hardware might be missing, thereby creating a different key.

So just keep your current installation and use it.

If you ever need to reactivate again, contact us via the [email protected] adres,
there's no point in making forum posts about this.

I don't see why cause all this commotion, you've got your key and you can use your copy.
