I rearranged my RAM and made no other changes and had to reactivate.
That is a load of bull dung!
MS claims they are protecting their intellectual property, I think they have
gone too far with the BS.
Five minutes on the phone is what they claim, usually it is 10-15.
But ANY time wasted reactivating due to changing the slots the RAM is in
borders on criminal!
In an attempt to 'protect themselves' MS has become as bad as the thieves!
