Yes, you should worry that they will deactivate your license.

Normally, your friend shouldn't have even been able to activate the license at all, especially if this is an OEM key.

If it's a retail key though, there's a chance Microsoft will deactivate it (seriously you can get a key for less than $40 online... why take the risk of losing your key entirely?) because the terms of service clearly state only 1 computer using the key may be active at any given time.
