yeah that would have been an upgrade.... I wonder if it would change if you did a clean install. if I wipe my drive and reinstall XPsp3 it will still generate the same pcid. but it's the same OS..... guess I'm not sure how all that works.

Clean install of xp needs a knew pcid . If you image the drive with acronis and do a clean install of windows from that you wont need a knew pcid

my copy of xp pro is an industrial version it doesn't need to be activated and theres no limit that I know of to how many machines it can be installed on. never bothered to look to see if the windows pcid changes when its reinstalled.

I had the same problem.. Somehow the PC ID was not the same as my installed version of Mach4 so I deleted the Mach4 install, saving my config 1st, then downloaded a fresh copy from the FTP site where the newest versions live, and grabbed the current PC ID. I deactivated the existing license and added the new PC ID and sent the license. It installed as before but this time it saved the license...

Hope this helps...

Cheers,
