Yeah, you might run into the same problem you'd have with Windows: if any vendors use hardware-based authentication, that software would probably have to be reactivated on the new machine as well.

What might be an idea, is to do BOTH an image of the drive, AND just copy off your files... restore the image onto the new machine as a last resort.

And yeah, wiping the drive before sending it back is easy; there are plenty of military-grade wiping utilities out there.
