Vista Licensed to move to a new machine only once

Vista has a new licensing policy that stops users move the Vista Home editions to a new machine more than once.

I recently replace a faulty motherboard on a machine I am running with XP. It's an old machine in which I have previously replaced the hard drive so it's been rebuilt twice. Under the Vista Licence Agreement I would not be allowed to move the operating system more than once. So you install, get one resinastall then you need to buy a new copy.
