Lightweight and portable utility that enables users to change their hard drive serial number to a custom value, easily and efficiently
Hard Disk Serial Number Changer is an application with a pretty self-explanatory name, as it allows users to change the serial number of their hard disk. It doesn't require special knowledge, since it's very easy to work with.
The operating system assigns this key to your hard disk when installing it. Under normal circumstances, the number can only be changed by formatting the drive. But Hard Disk Serial Number Changer takes care of this matter easily and efficiently.
This is a portable application, so installation is not a prerequisite. It means that you can drop the executable file anywhere on the disk and just click it to run.
As an alternative, you can save Hard Disk Serial Number Changer to a USB flash drive or similar device, and run it on any machine without prior installers.
What's important to keep in mind is that the Windows registry does not get new entries, and leftovers are not kept on the hard drive after removing the utility (a basic file deletion is enough).
The interface is made from a regular window with a 'what you see is what you get' layout, where you can select a drive letter from a drop-down list and change the serial number into anything you want. Applying the new changes is done by clicking a button, but you are required to restart the computer to view the effects. There are no other options available.
As we have expected, Hard Disk Serial Number Changer has minimal impact on system resources and applies the new settings without error. We have not come across any issues in our tests, and the tool did not hang or crash. Even though it has not been updated for a while, Hard Disk Serial Number Changer works well on newer OS platforms.

Does anyone know how to install a new serial on a working copy of Windows 7 - I get notified that my software is not genuine but cannot reenter the serial

You will be able to enter a new key when you try to activate Windows.
- Open Control Panel.
- Go to System.
- Click Activate Windows. (In case it is not activated) / Click Change Product Key on the lower half (In case it was previously activated).
- It will ask for a new Serial key.
One easy method is to change the key via the command prompt:
- Click the Start orb
- Type
cmd
and press Shift+Ctrl+Enter to open an elevated command prompt. - Type in
slmgr.vbs -ipk
followed by your new key - Type
slmgr.vbs -ato
to re-activate if necessary.
go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsSystem 'Change product key' is at the bottom.

Hi,
I don't know why it's necessary to change the BIOS serial number. However, read this thread.

Changed motherboard. Software says it's no longer licensed. Don't have the reinstall media, I believe it's keying off the system serial #.
