If you own a copy of windows you can continue to install it on the same laptop as often as you like, i am not 100% sure but if you do it several times you just may need to activate over the phone but you don't need to buy a new licence.
A copy of Windows may not active if you change an important component like the HDD, and again in this case you just phone up and explain your situation and you shouldn't need a new licence unless the copy is an OEM copy, but they still may activate it for you.
You generally can't install a copy of windows on more than 1 computer at the same time with the same licence key, i am not sure if that is easy to get away with though.
