A license per core. :chriso: necro is right someone is tlking out of their a--! I upgraded my Windows x64 from single core to dual core and I have to validate just like anyone else. Validation on this system is successful everytime. I did not even have to call over the phone due to hardware change. :chriso:

Was kinda thinking the same, that guy on the phone wasn't even able to tell me how I could change the legality from my current (il)legal install to the new one, I mean just change it so it's legal right away, no reinstall.

They're not the brightest there!
