I've re-installed ADE* several times on a couple of computers in the last few years and I've never de-authorised it first. I don't seem to have run out of activations yet.
By the way I run 1.7.something on Linux using wine. I find it works quite well, as does Kindle for PC. Certainly well enough for the initial download of the book to then be fed into the deDRM process. Unfortunately the latest version doesn't seem to run under Wine, so I keep the old installer handy (you can find it if you google).
*I mean re-installing after a re-install of the OS so it's not like there's registration data lying around somewhere.
