Just to try and explain a little further on what Andrew has quite correctly said. This is EXTREMELY simplistic, but hopefully will help. When software like this looks at a machine it can see various things. (So if you have Belarc Advisor www.belarc.com you will see much of the following) For example, The CPU, or processor, has a serial Number. The disk drive has a serial number. The Motherboard has a serial number. So what is to say that you might not move software on a disk drive to another machine, by cloning the disk drive? Ah! Different CPU and Motherboard. Even CPU's and Motherboards however can be cloned and appear to have the same serial numbers. So the machine checking process can go deeper. However, provided the machine is genuinely the same, then usually the checking process recognises this. But nothing is ever perfect, and sometimes the same machine, for one reason or another, will generate a different "fingerprint", if that's the right analogy.

Think of a key as a machine, so when you factory restore your machine, blowing away all your settings, the hardware is the same, thus reinstall of JFW won't loose a key. (Well that's the theory anyway).

If someone needs to do a Factory Restore, how do they ensure that they don't lose one of their five keys? Best wishes. Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.
