Usually yes :/ But you shouldnt as you need one key per pc unless you buy a license detailing how many pcs it will be installed on. Seriously ? 32bit os? Bit pointless going dual core then lol. Hope you install that 64bit os.
I entered pre production on the 12 Oct and am still there, remember the times are guidelines and will vary from person to person
on another note, get a linux partion for your programming needs
p.s definately go 64bit, 32bit will just bottleneck your system which, if not now, may be noticeably annoying in the future.
