    Does the Windows License Go With The Motherboard or the Case?


    See I read that differently. To me that doesn't say the manufacture has to replace it, it just says it has to be the same or equivalent motherboard.

    The key phrase there is "as defined by the manufacturers warranty". You are obviously not getting a warranty replacement if you do it yourself.

    Regardless, this is from the FAQ, the actual license says it more explicitly.
