All you have to do is reinstall it. Microsoft guarantees Activation of our
products as often as needed, as long as we abide by the EULA.
You may or may not have to reactivate it, depending on whether any major
hardware modifications were made since the last activation.
Don't worry, my friend, Microsoft is committed to its paying customers, and
will work with us. They aren't the thieves and demons people make them out to
be. Just business folks, like the majority of us.
