And then you wonder WHY Microsoft add in PA into their products.
Oh and for the record, change of motherboard should actually mean a change of an OEM license.
So the fact it stopped him Activating the product after a motherboard change would mean that PA is working exactly how it should be.

As for the "colour of case" comment - all I need you to do now is add the word "Micro$oft" or the abv. M$ to your post and that would just about confirm some things.
