I've swapped motherboards before with the same brand, model and settings and Windows decided to redetect all of the motherboard devices and then complain that the activation was no longer valid. This was back with XP.
Oh, yes.
Sorry, I was thinking merely of the drivers/install point of view.
I personally never dealt with XP activation much as I've been using the corporate version of it most times. However, those times when I was asked to reactivate at home due to significant hardware upgrades, it took me just a phone call to MS toll free nr.
Of course, I'd been happier not to do that, but it was not a big problem.
