Yes, any little change in configuration will require a new activation. I know it's nuts. For some people even having a USB drive plugged in can trigger it, or if a USB was present when it was installed, but is no longer present, that can trigger it, too.
If you run out of activations, another way to reach TurboTax Support from overseas is if you have social media, you can direct message a TurboTax support agent at X/Twitter or Facebook.
