What are the system upgrades that force the Glidos ID to change? Since I unlocked my first ID, I've installed just a new HDD, a new sound card, a DVD-ROM, and reinstalled the same operating system once, but the spinning logo has reappeared when playing with Glidos. Regenerating my old unlock code didn't work, so I've had to unlock a new ID. I don't want to waste all my codes by having to unlock a new ID each time I make an upgrade.

If it works like Windows Activation, a single piece of hardware doesn't make any difference [most of the time]. But three major components constitutes a significant upgrade as far as MS are concerned, and your system ID changes. I'm guessing Glidos works in a similar way...?

I don't think its as sophisticated as Windows Activation, but don't worry, the account will add to your quota automatically, and if special circumstances require more, I can just add some.

🙁 Everytime I defrag my harddisk I loose the registration-key...
