you can reinstall them as many times as you like, as long as you don't replace your motherboard, if you do that, then you'll have to call up ms to get another key, or worse.. buy another copy

As long as you are only using it on one system then the worst thing you will have to do is get a confirmation type key over the phone from MS.
