Will changing CPU and Motherboard affect my license?

[Geno Timlin]

I have Windows XP Pro which I purchased for a system I built back in 2002.
I'd like to upgrade the CPU and motherboard.
If I do this, will XP determine the new hardware and make the necessary
adjustments?
If not, can I re-install XP on this computer and not worry about the license?
