re-install parallels desktop from backup

I'm having mac OS issues that will require my macbook pro to be wiped clean, OS Mojave reinstalled, and then all applications & data restored from my time machine backup. Although the hardware will be the same, from a software perspective it will be a 'new' computer.

Are there any issues with restoring parallels desktop from the backup? The reason I ask is that Apple support told me there will be issues with Microsoft software (not the pvms) because those apps (Excel, Word,...) will think it's a different computer and the licenses won't be valid.

Will my parallels desktop license still be valid when restored to my 'new' computer? Or will I have issues similar to those for the Microsoft apps? If I will have issues, what should I do?
