Can an operating-system or hardware change require CIMCO reactivation?

Direct answer
It can. A major operating-system upgrade, restored image, virtual-machine change, or hardware replacement may alter the machine identity used by activation. Plan the move before the maintenance event so the license can be released, reissued, or recovered through the appropriate dealer process if necessary.
Practical checkpoint
Capture the license information, installed version, machine identity, configuration backup, and support contact before changing the system; confirm activation immediately after the change.
