Instrument cluster lock out?

Instrument cluster lock out?
Hello,
The car is a 2000 S-type v8, I understand that an instrument cluster from another car would not work. But would it also causes the security system to "lock out" the car requiring a tow to a dealer?
If the car is "locked out", would installing the original cluster un-lock the car?
Many thanks.

Yes, I am working on fixing the original cluster. But just in case I bought a replacement one from the 'bay. I needed to verify at least the replacement one has some functionality before I send it out for "recode". I have not install the replacement cluster (bought from ebay) yet, for fear of the "lock-out" issue. From "Tbird6"'s answer, it's o.k to try.
Thanks folks.
