    It should not happen, but if it did you just call the activation number and they will fix you up

    It will happen on cracked copies, but probably not from best buy.

    You do not say if you are having problems at this time. If you have put in your activation key within 30 days of installation, you should be OK since you purchased your DVD at Best Buy.
