Excuse me for writing gibberish! I will try to reformulate:

If you are restoring to the same disk, the restore is fully functional without 
any further steps (i.e. you not need any keys). When you are restoring the disk 
image to a new physical disk and the software activation scheme (i.e. copy 
protection) is tied to a physical disk ID, you will probably need new keys from 
software vendors. It is as if you had bought a new computer. 

The best feature of this software is the ability to go back to any certain date 
when everything was working perfectly. Or you can restore just one file that 
you mistakenly overwrote. Just schedule automated backups and you are pretty 
much secure.

all those long strings of product ID keys, activation keys, whatever you 
call them, I wouldn't have to locate and re-install programs and their 
customization?
