Well, the registration itself _resides_ on the HD. Where else would it. But it _checks_ the Ethernet MAC address. I do actually know this for a fact, as it has caused problems with my configuration.
I think now MakeMusic sends you an email after you register, with a response code, so you don't even have to go through the web registering process to reregister as long as you are still using the same machine (with the same MAC address). Such a re-registration will not eat up another one of your allowed registrations.
