No, that's not how it works. You should be able to activate again and
again on the *same* hardware. And even if Internet activation doesn't go
through [but it probably will], you can always do a telephone activation.
Tell the operator that it's going on the very same machine and you will
get the numbers.
If you are using the Vista Home Premium 'upgrade' media (DVD or CD-ROMs)
instead of OEM or Full, have a look at this before clean installing:
