I just got asked to input my serial number into stars. This was the first time that I've run it for a while (certainly first in the new year). Is this a coincidence? Anyone else get this?

Maybe if you make some serious hardware changes?

No hardware changes (it's a laptop). And I checked stars.ini file was unchanged. Strange.

If you have had to re-install Windows since the last time you ran Stars! you would get asked again for the serial number. Alternately, under XP a large number of system updates (for instance service pack 2) since the last time Stars! was run could conceivably trigger the input serial number request.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
