Change Hardware ID

I have software that the company has closed and part of the installation that I need to do has the new hardware ID. It doesn't match the one before upgrading so my user name and key will no longer work. I have documentation showing the original hardware
ID and the installation shows the current hardware ID. Is there a way to change this on my newly updated computer back to the old one. I upgraded the operating system to windows 10 and hd to SSD.

Thanks Bill

 

Hardware ID Changed after Formatting

Hi,

I formatted my PC a couple of months back and my Hardware ID changed.

I didn't notice it, till I tried to install one of my purchased software and it showed a different Hardware ID.

I don't really think that the software distributor will buy my story of hardware change, he would simply think I am bluffing. How do I resolve this problem?
