Amerika | If it's a 'replacement' you're fine EULA wise just as if you sent in a Dell for repair. |

depends
techicly you cant
but the OEM of your PC CAN issue a "replacement" mobo
IF your your own OEM.... you can see were this is going
bottom line youll have to call inda and ask to re-activate your copy
most of the time they will just lie and say your old board died |

Amerika | In this situation of reactivating my Newegged OEM license I'm asked by the robo system, "How many computers are currently running this copy if Windows (product name)?"
I answer "1".
"Thank you...Verified" and then I get the $tring. |
