NO.. it will allow xp-home to install.. activation is a completely separate thing.. and there are tools to back up and reinstate your activation... winkeyfinder 1.72 (google it) has the feature.

I agree with aldan. Worst case scenario, you'll get a message that your activation fails with an 800 number that you can call. I've called it before and it's always been an automated line. You simply type in the numbers from your screen into the phone (or you can verbally read the numbers) and you'll receive a set of numbers to enter into your computer and you're done. It's less than 5 minutes.
