I can't answer about the activation (but from what I understand, if it's the same computer, it should re-activate without a hitch).

However, for copying over the hard drive, you can do a simple copy, except at one time there were a couple of hidden files in the BB folder. If your computer was not set to display hidden files, those didn't get copied over and the program didn't work. I don't know if that's still the case, but just something to be careful about.

BB doesn't care which hard drive it runs from - the one you received from them or the one you copied it to. It's good to have a backup.
