It was possible on XP, if it's the same system on 7 then just activate by phone and key in the right numbers to inform the system you have changed the graphics card.

PMSL! Yep, pikey way of doing it. However say the motherboard, not the GPU.

Knows it.

umm don't say motherboard lol, it's stated in the terms and conditions or whatever that a change of motherboard requires you buy a new copy.

*if* you have to speak to an adviser, just tell them that you got a virus and had to do a clean install ;D

Depends on the version you bought.

As Griff says, if you've got the full packaged product version then it's licensed for 1 machine per purchase. You can change whatever the hell you like, you can have that copy installed on any one machine at a time.

The 'legal' answer is no you can't as the license you have will most likely be valid for a single installation.
