put it this way, I purchased the OEM version, and using the automated phone reactivation you can use it on a totally different computer, as long as u say its just the 1 computer, so u can re use it a billion times i.e. unlimited
I have changed mobo, hdd's etc and reactivated no less that a dozen times, reactivation is a piece of pie, and simply unlimited as long as its just "your" pc

it is "supposed" to be for one computer only but as mentioned you will be able to reactivate it as many times as you want to but this will require doing it over the telephone every time except the very first activation (this will tip you off if you buy an oem cd and need to activate by phone it means that the key has already been activated on another computer).
i have done 2 new builds (this OS is on its 3rd computer), numerous upgrades, and occassional reformating due to viruses and reinstalled my OS about a dozen times already. it is a time consuming pain going through MS each time but thats the way it is.
if asked why your reinstalling just say you had to replace a bad hard drive, dont say anything about the cpu or motherboard or it may make them ask more questions (saying you replaced these major components could cause them to say you need a new key).
