I'm not sure either, but if you "delete all evidence of OOTP", that means you are going to delete the receipt.txt along with the other elicense files, and then I'm pretty the reinstalled game will ask you to enter your purchase code again and re-license. Now, whether elicense keeps track of ISP addresses and "remembers" this was the same computer, I can't say. I do know I would be safe and go ahead and unlicense it first.
I know I've done uninstalls and resinstalls before and you don't need to relicense then, but an uninstall leaves the license stuff on the hard drive, so I'm pretty sure this is why you don't have to relicense.
I would hate to lose that second license myself, because I just learned first hand that situations change. I only ever used one before, but recently purchased a new laptop in addition to my old desktop, and found I used two for both OOTP and TBCB.
