You should have no problem, however Microsoft might make activation of the product difficult. You might have to send proof that you are a student or teacher.

For the same price you could get XP Home OEM from Newegg.
Neither OEM or Retail have a limitation on activations. They both work the same.

You can reactivate them more than once, you just can't use the same liscense on more than 1 computer at a time.
