Now w/ this fake finger, you...

If I buy a builder's edition of Win XP, or the Home version of Win XP (because I have read that in 6 months or so Win XP will not be sold any longer) will I still be able to activate my copy (or copies) in 9 months or a year, or so, when I go to install it for the first time?
