It does, but if you're only upgrading asterisk but not changing any
hardware, there's no need to reregister anything. In my case I just
wanted to make sure that the registration wasn't going to write
somewhere read-only (say /usr/lib) or in a ram-disk (in my case /etc).
It's in /var/lib/asterisk which I have as a real disk...

Even if you can reregister each time, it easier to remember the actual
licence than it is to remember the key and reenter manually each time.
