Windows requires new product key

I changed my new motherbored and windows is now asking me for a new product key for windows is their a registry hack to get around or do i have to buy a new product key for my gaming system?

Ring microsoft and tell them you had the motherbored replaced due to it failing thay will reactivate it for you.

With a oem copy microsoft ties the key to the mobo but if you change it becase it was fulty thay will sort it for you (just dont tell them you changed it becase you fancyed a upgrade)
