Nah, swap out your graphics card, and it will decide it is not activated.

And then it won't be able to find the server to activate.

And then you get to call and activate it over the phone.

? I installed a new graphics card, a second hard drive, and re-installed FSX with no issues and no calls to home. You must have had some other issue.

I didn't re-install. I had it installed, and my graphics card died. Once I got the new card and booted up, FSX told me I needed to activate it.

Just the graphics card. No other changes to my system.

When i put new hardware in my computer i always do a fresh install...

Just makes things smoother....

And clears out the clutter.

Yeah, I probably should have done that. But I had to wait for the graphics card to ship, and I was jonesing for my fix...

The laptop just didn't feed my addiction.

I've reinstalled it since then, but I still had to activate by phone.
