Will adding HDD and RME card change system ID?

I believe the computer ID only changes with a new motherboard.

From my experience the computer ID can also change if you change the boot drive to a different hard drive.
But ultimately all of this depends on the authorization scheme the various companies utilize.

Changing Network settings from OFF to ON to add wifi was what caused Superior Drummer ( & ableton IIRC) to demand reauthorisation on my system...

Adobe products only allow 2 authorizations per product but allow you to deactivate devices to allow authorization on another device.

In my experience changing a hard drive can change the computer ID but depends on the security scheme.

Network devices are often inolved in the machines ID as each network device has its own unique MAC address.

i would not worry to much about the amount of authorizations ,in my own experiance you email the company tell them you have a new pc or have upgraded it and they renew your authorizations.

at the end of the day they have these things to try protect their software from pirates ,they know its a pain in the ass for their customers , but they have to do it to protect them selves , so the last thing they want to do is tell a customer he/she will have to buy another version of the same product just because they have bought a new pc.if they did the customer would just use a different product.
