    After several months I have finally secured another Powerbook G4 from eBay. It will be here sometime this week.
    I had to send the other one back after it died after two weeks.
    I have a backup copy of the hard drive.
    How will I reuse the license key?
    Does it contain hardware info?
    This laptop differs slightly. It has the lower res video of 1440x900 instead of 1650x1080.

    :-(

    You will have to convince the MorphOS Team that your hardware broke, and then they will give you a new keyfile for your new hardware at no cost.

    > Does it contain hardware info?

    Yes, the MAC address.

    Here is the bad one that had to go back to the seller.
    It melted down after 17 days. Literally.
    It is too old to have an ebay link:

    Hope that is enough.
