--- Comment #24 from Per Johansson per@morth.org --- Extract from SecuROM FAQ (https://support.securom.com/faq_pa.html):
" 2.4 What happens if I change my hardware (e.g. I bought a new graphics card)?
...
There is flexibility (set by the publisher, but defaults to 60%) of allowed hardware changes before a new activation is required.
A re-activation is necessary, after re-formatting a HDD and new Windows setup, as well as after creating a new Windows User account. For software changes, the SecuROM™ User Data are stored on two positions (Windows registry and the user APPDATA folder).
Note: The Product Activation servers differentiate between activations on same and different PCs. "
I'm a bit unsure if I get the "same PC" case or not, because Square told be I got one (1) more activation, but I've managed to activate twice now... Anyway I'll probably be revoking before shutdown from now on, don't want to risk another lock-out right now.
