It never counts against you. If it's been a few months since you last
activated, just do the install and once you're convinced the install was
successful, activate over the net. It takes a very short time.
I suggest waiting till the install is confirmed to activate because it is
possible to be forced into a situation (by having to reinstall and activate
repeatedly in a very short period) where you have to make a toll-free phone
call. This takes a few minutes, and is easy, but can be avoided by simply
waiting.
MS is aware of the concept that people have to re-install sometimes. I've
never had a problem seeking activation codes, it's been fast and easy.
