this may affect generated hardware codes required for authorization. run ezd with the same hardware connected as was with authorization.

i don't have ezd, just a suggestion for something to try next time.
Thanks for the explanation Artifus. That's interesting..... I will keep that in mind.
It IS possible then tha something as innocuous as a USB device changing could
somehow alter that computer ID code it seems.....

I'll bet that is my culprit.... Although I don't recall any USB device changes, but
at the same time I may not have noticed.

Thanks!
