You won't know that until you're done installing.
 
Hi Doug,

Possibly, assuming the original installation was activated. Since the
hardware has not actually changed (and that's what the hashes are based on),
you may not need to. Won't know until you try. Either way, as it's the same
system, you are well within the EULA boundries for reactivating.
