If you reinstall your OS or install a different OS on your computer, do you just lose an activation for games like Dead Space, which have a limited number of activations?

yes if you have to reinstall it which of course you would then you lose an activation. However its relatively straight forward to get more activations. All you do is email the company and tell them why you had to reinstall it. They know that people have stuff happen and they just want to make sure that someone doesn't iso the disk and have 1000 activations off one dvd.

The way the activations work, reinstalling your OS onto the exact same hardware probably won't use up another one, actually. It'll just see the hardware hash and think it's the exact same computer all over again. It won't really matter in the long run though, anyway.
