What OS are you using? I know with Windows 10 there's a way to re-activate it on new hardware without having to re-purchase.

NOTE: before doing anything make sure your windows 10 licence is linked to a MS account and windows 10 is fully updated on your computer before changing the motherboard. all of this will be explained in the link above
