PC Host ID Changed after Upgrade invalid license . . . wish we still had dongles !!!!

[a.quaihoi]

Hi all,

I upgraded my pc hard drive to a larger capacity by cloning my hard drive and now my license is not valid, checked the host id and it has changed, is there a way to stop this from happening, I wish we still had dongles, would be super good right about now so I dont  have to bug Jason all the time, especially when you need transition to a new computer

 I'm not aware of any way to prevent that.

My suggestion is to send Jason your host id per the directions here... https://www.hash.com/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=15&id=17&artlang=en

and then put your old HD back in your computer and continue working as before until Jason is able to get you an updated license.

Thanks Rob, the problem was that hard drive crashed and it was a struggle to try and get windows up and running again, literally had to install windows to a spare laptop, then clone it to another drive and then boot pc ( Mac Pro 5.1 ) again, I think even if I reinstalled it again on the same drive it would have changed host id, but that ssd look like it was on its way out, have messaged Jason :)
