Q
  1. What is significant regarding the product ID and hardware ID that gets generated during the Windows Server installation with respect to activating your Windows software?
A

Product ID and Hardware ID are unique to the system that Windows is installed. Licensing is then associated with these unique numbers. Any significant change to the hardware of the server will require reactivation of the licensing for that system. This does not apply to additional components as long as the original components that were used to activate the license are still in the system.
