Windows needs re-activation after installing SOFTWARE ..?! REALLY..?!

I think my Windows Ultimate 64-bit is cursed... It nearly seems as tho EVERY time I install something a bit 'chunky' (.. or like today. a 'repair' of previously installed software... such as my effort today to 'repair' Roxio 2012, for instance..), I get the accursed notice that "..Windows has detected a hardware change and must be re-activated.."
REALLY?!..
I've had the same computer hardware for over three years (Intel i5-2500K on an MSI P67A-GD55 mobo holding 16GB of DDR3-SDRAM and two 1TB Seagate HDDs) with this (for the most part) same unchanged hardware ... virtually unchanged software (INCLUDING this Roxio 2012 software I mentioned - uh-except for the on-going hundreds of "Windows Updates" ...). And to the best of my knowledge, NO OTHER CHANGES ...
And yet.. it seems as tho WAY too often I have to 're-activate' Windows - time after time after time.. (like more than FIVE times in the past two years.. and I even had to make a telephone call to achieve activation after changing the disk controller to AHCI when I installed my 256 GB Sandisk SSD Extreme 'boot disk'... which, for this, I most assuredly understood WAS no doubt a "significant" hardware alteration so 'reactivation' might have been necessary..) and yet, in too many cases I seem to ALWAYS have to 'reactivate' after seemingly 'minor' software changes (such as this morning's effort to 'repair' Roxio 2012).
Simply put.. this makes absolutely NO sense to me that what WAS installed and operating well, then 'forces' a need to 'reactivate'...? - after a simple REPAIR of that previously installed software..? REALLY guys..?
(... Have I said recently how much I just LOVE Microsoft and this whole "activation" BS..?)
So ... Does anyone have a clue WHY this happens so often? 'Cuz, I don't have a clue (obviously) ...
I find it ridiculous... and puts me in a place where I am very much anticipating at time when I can dump this damned Windows crap and rely solely on my Linux box which has operated FLAWLESSLY for that same period of time regardless of how many times I've updated the software and OS kernal...). If it wasn't a 'requirement' for what I do, I'd be there already...

It is unusual. The only thing you mention that raises red flags is Roxio which is considered pernicious bloatware that can't be gotten rid of fast enough when it comes preinstalled. Not sure why you'd install that on a custom build since all of its features are found in Windows Media Center.

Please follow the steps for Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instructions - Windows 7 Help Forums and post back the results here as shown for analysis.

Ah - yes it IS "bloatware"... but there are aspects of Roxio that are NOT a part of Media Center, but which I use too often and employ for what I do, and yet, are (apparently) not available without "the whole 9 yards" (which I fairly routinely customize to my own needs anyway) ... But, in truth, personal opinions of software packages aren't the issue, here... and I don't find this Roxio version to be all that impossible to cope with (even as bloated as it is...). But I'm pretty certain that Roxio is simply an indicator - NOT what I expect is the actual problem with this installation of Win7 Ultimate. The whole system has been pretty much 'rock solid' for quite some time PREVIOUSLY, but what I find obnoxious is the recurrent 'false indication' from Windows that something has somehow changed (hardware-wise) that might require 're-activation'... This has also happened when installing Autodesk REVIT 2013 (64-bit) - as well as (wait for it..) ..... Microsoft Office 2013 (!!). This I find almost humorous... the fact that installing one of Microsoft's own 'flagship' productivity suites can (sometimes) also cause this to happen... Gotta love it...
A discussion last night with another in our office has lead us both to believe that it is simply time to back it all up - blow it all away - and re-install the whole list of software "from scratch" - where no doubt it will also have the additional benefit of increasing overall performance for the interim (... until it is 'affected' by day-to-day use as per the 'normal' operation I've come to expect...). I just don't look forward to the lengthy process that this entails....
I'd just hoped that someone had encountered this before and may have had some explanation... 'cuz this boggles me, for sure...

BTW: here's the WGA report that you'd mentioned I also post:

Bill, if you Clean Reinstall Windows 7 stick with the steps, tools and methods in the blue link and you'll get and keep a perfect install for as long as you do.

I've asked our activation expert Noel to look at this.
