Hello evryone I've just cloned my Hard drive to an SSD (EVO). I put the laptop out f action about a year plus, as I had multiple OS, driver, and hardware issues. Windows was stuck in an update loop, and sometimes wouldn't load. As a result many of my passwords have hanged over the course, So I'm having to reenter passwords. I'm concerned about software with a restricted number of authorized machines, and the authorization getting stuck on an old hard drive. iTunes account said it needed authorization, but I may have de-athourised that before shutting it down a year back, just to be sage (Something I'd do, but can't recall doing it) XLN needed authorization, but Windows update alone causes that. Cakewalk was in demo mode, but I was having issues with the BandLab installer back then (latest installer installed without a hitch) I guess my question is this. If an drive is cloned, and at the time, the software was authorized, should all these authorizations work on the cloned drive? Or do some suppliers use the hard drive itself in identifying the machine.
