Are you doing a straight upgrade or a clean install? The activations shouldn't be touched if you are doing the in-place upgrade. If you want to go from 32-bit Windows to 64-bit Windows, you can't do an in-place upgrade, if you were wondering.

in-place upgrade, 32bit - 32bit

Make sure you qualify for the upgrade per this chart:

If you do, you won't have to reactivate your games.

Most sources should allow you to revoke the installations first. There's also the option of cracking...
Clean install is recommended.
