I certainly did not expect her to be found alive after a week in the winter. What a great outcome.

A little while back I switched my licensing to TPM as I ultimately want to get rid of the USB for booting (still using it for now) and I figured I'd change my motherboard less often than my usb stick.

Fast forward a couple of months, and my motherboard is playing up so I decided to get a new one (and CPU). I'm now not eligible for a self-transfer because I switched to TPM in the last month. Yes I know I shouldn't have switched to TPM, but I didn't think this upgrade was on the cards.

So I figured I would contact support and see if they can reset my ability to self-replace, as I'd rather not wait an unknown amount of time with an array that can't start for them to manually replace the key. Apparently that's not possible, despite my license being 9 years old and only very rarely reassigned to a couple of new flash drives over that time.

So it seems that despite my attempt at planning, I have to install my new motherboard and then contact support and wait an unknown time for them to reassign my license. Could be an hour, could be 12 hours. That seems crazy, surely they should be able to reset the 12-month allowance in a case like this? Am I missing something?
