suite license owner reformatting slow macbook (can I authorize same device after factory sweep?)

Once all of the steps to factory reset my MacBook Pro are complete and I follow through with the reset, will I be able to redownload suite and continue using my Macbook to operate Live/reregister this computer as an authorized device?
I’ve always ran my license on this MacBook and I utilize my other license for my iMac at home to mix and master with.
Thanks for any help and insight you all may be able to provide!

Yep, shouldn;t be any issue. I reformat my laptop pretty regularly to clear out all the beta software I test, never been an issue reauthorizing Live afterwards.

It'll most probably be seen as a "new machine" by Live, so check how many authorisation you have left on your ableton account.
In case you don't have any left, then ask for one at

Really curious as to what I even did to my internal HD, after the reset it says the same amount of space is left from before I reformatted.
