    1607 lost activation on one of mine with just a video card change and a pci network card installed

    notice also that slui 4 isn't working either

    did a 1607 fresh install that didn't activate

    confirmed the 7 to 10 free update is still active

    I am having a problem. I had to change my motherboard and CPU. I was activated prior to this and signed in with my MS account and showed that I was activated. Now after adding the new mobo, I have tried activation, troubleshoot, changed hardware, etc. but it comes up with can't activate servers are busy or something to that effect. Any ideas?
