upgrading a comp w/ win xp

[$mooth]

I need to upgrade my computer that is currently running
windows XP. I'm doing a motherboard swap and changing
the processor with it. What kind of licensing issues can
i expect? Will I need to contact microsoft when i
reinstall everything and if so, how?

Thanks

Hello

Do the following and you will be fine, and remember you will have
to re-install SP1 ok

Do a repair install
