The trick is to activate it and copy the contents of your old ADE folder to the "new" auto-generated ADE folder before you add any additional/new books to ADE on the new hard drive.
At least that was my experience when I had to reformat my hard drive.

That's how I did it too. It's the fastest, easiest way and makes it possible to continue to buy new books in the future.
BTW, it's a good idea to make backup copies of all your ACSM files on a thumb drive or some other safe, off-line location. The files are tiny and they serve as "proof of purchase" for your books. You can always use the ACSM file you got when you bought the book to get another copy downloaded to ADE if you lose a book or the file gets corrupted. The ACSM files still work even when the bookstore you originally bought it from has gone out of business.
