    The title says it all: I need to reinstall Windows Vista64, it is not working properly and it is now better than later because I just reinstalled it a couple of weeks ago. Problem is I installed the username/password license a couple of days ago and I don't want to buy the whole thing all over again.

    The question is this: is it ok to reinstlal NOD32 in the new OS and use the same license to make it work? Eset must have some sort of protection against this so users don't re-use single machine registrations over and over again... but what about my case?

    Windows Vista64 is not working properly on that machine, probably the RAM was not stable enough while I installed it or the RAID drivers are faulty... and ironically I have another two machines (desktop and laptop) with their own NOD32 license... in short I am client and I am happy with this Antivirus, and believe me I have tried nearly all... there must be a way to reactivate the license I already bought, right?

    Basically you have a license to use NOD32 on however many PCs you bought for. So if you have a 1 PC license you can keep it installed on 1 PC at any one time. In 6 months time you could move the license to another PC as long as you didn't continue to use it on the old PC if you want. There is no restriction regarding reinstalling Windows or moving to new PCs as long as you never use it on more PCs, at the same time, than your license allows.

    And if I use the same license on the three computers I have, Eset will know?

    I guess it has to do with updating, IP address and so many things I don't want to think of... reinstalling Vista is difficult enough.

    Thanks guys

    Yes, and i would expect the license to be cancelled if you did.
