It was about four or five days until it was booting again. At first I did
an upgrade install, but then I decided to start clean and reinstall. That
was probably a week later. I didn't immediately reactivate because I
thought it would be a good idea to wait until I was sure the new
motherboard and installation was working acceptably before reactivating to
avoid possibly having to reactivate a second time. So I waited as long as
possible, and now the grace period expired.

As it happens, I am having some difficulty with the new motherboard (an
ABIT VT7) spontaenously rebooting every few days (both Windows and Linux,
Linux more frequently). I am already dreading what will happen when I try
to replace the motherboard yet again.
