If you swapped the motherboard, the old copy of windows is not technically legal any more.
With a fresh install and a call to ms you may be able to get them to activate, but by the rules, New board = New system and OEM copies of windows are tied to the first board they are installed on.
With the retail version you can move it from system to system as long as only ONE system has that copy on it.
