Nah, not always the case.
We had to re-install MICR reading software for a check scanner after a hardware failure.
We had the license key written down. It didn't work, because the key was machine specific (sort of like having to re-activate Windows if you change too much of the underlying hardware).

$600 for a new key, old version paid for or not.
