As explained in the docs and even in the message shown, when you change your hardware, OS or computer name, the Ident-Number will change and you need to request a new license key... all pretty normal.
Normally you are right with this exception. Nothing has changed. I just closed the computer overnight.
Powered this morning including this message. Again, everything is the same (except the date :))

I'll provide the info you asked.

That is correct :roll:

Just look at the data you send me, but I am sorry to say, your computer name has changed ;-)
It changed from "PF-..." to "PROPPFREXX..." (I left the last digits out for security), but I guess you can agree, that name has changed... and that's why the Ident-Number has changed.
And I even doubt, that a W7 update will change your computer name?!

Just send me (in a private message or via mail) your old registration data and your new Ident-Number...and I will provide you with a new key.
