Except, of course, that I
did not do that and, in fact, apologised to the OP.

Indeed. That's the problem. Certain people just cannot accept that it is wrong and will find any "excuse" they can to justify it.

In some cases your recovery software will be locked to your specific motherboard, so that can't be used on another machine, but the license itself is not.

Again, I don't think you can transfer the licence from one machine to another.
