I have searched the forums looking for answers to this, but haven't really found any complete answers. I am looking into buying a Western Digital Scorpio Blue hard drive to expand my macbook pro's capacity. I have booted from the os x install dvd and created a backup of my current hard drive. I just have a couple of quick questions before I purchase the drive and move the backup onto it.

First, are things like preferences, expose, and spaces backed up?

Second, I have a student edition of Adobe Production Premium along with lots of other apps, will I have to re-enter the serial numbers?

I know these are sorta noobish, but I just want to make sure. Thanks.
