new motherboard

windows xp professional Acad 2006/2007 -Raster design,2006
I'm a single user, non-techno-geek. I am installing a new motherboard and processor soon, hopefully simply doing a "repair install" of XP. I an going to attempt to simply plug in the hard drives into the new motherboard and go. I am not planning on a complete reformat and reinstall. Will my existing AutoCAD license and authorization balk a seeing a new processor?
Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Hi Frank,

You can update the motherboard and processor without impacting your AutoCAD
license. But of course, worse case, if the activation was impacted, the
corrective action is easy - simply get a new activation code, which you can
do easily from within the product.

Regards,
Greg

I know it's a pain, but you would be saving yourself from problems in
the future by doing a clean install... especially if your new
mb/processor are considerably different (different chipset, different
onboard devices, multi-core, 64bit, etc)
