Well, they don't 'know'. They expect you to be honest. Some apps 'call
home' for updates or other types of support (Help content, etc.). Those may
have built in regulators that identify the system they're installed upon, so
if you try using it on two systems, they both may stop working because
you're cheating the terms. I only know of a couple that do something like
this, but figured you'd want to know that it does happen.
Andyes, if your system dies and the licensing allows it, just install it on
the replacement system. An app that uses Activation, like Windows, may
still require a phone call to get the app reactivated.
Peace,
Gman
