Hi reno, I don't know exactly how your cloner/workstation works but in theory it shouldn't hurt as long as you are not booting the cloned drive in your workstation, personally I would play it safe and deactivate it, deactivating allows you the freedom to do anything you wish, including installing onto a different pc. once its deactivated it is not registered to any pc so you can change drives, components and operating systems at will, then simply reactivate.
