Just about any version of windows will have issues with restoring an image onto a machine with different specs, for starters there are all the drivers for each of your devices and even for the chipset/motherboard. The licensing issue may also come into it but I don't know enough about that. Also consider that Windows disk management may have problems dealing with your drives if the volume information for each is not the same between the machines.
Basically, if your new server is the same as the old one but has more ram/cpu/disk, you are probably less likely to encounter problems than if it's a whole new system platform. I do know that every time I've swapped motherboards in a machine, I've encountered issues with driver incompatibility and device conflicts on low-level sytem components like the PCI bus and north/south bridge chips.
