Does product activation deter hard disk cloning by comparing these hard disk hashes?
One of the forms of piracy that Product Activation guards against is hard disk cloning. Not all forms of hard disk cloning are illegal. However, by comparing the hardware hash originally activated to the current hardware hash, hard disk cloning can be detered by requiring re-activation if the hardware hashes are substantially different. i recon from that, that if u get 2 drives by the same manafacturer in the similar product line it might work say a 20g and 30g maxtor diamondmax (example). i had 2 x 20g hdd’s one an ibm the other a maxtor so no chance.
