Will SD restore Apps to a new install?

[Stucarius]

I need a backup that will allow me to do a new install. ie. Leopard and then just reinstall my apps like Photoshop etc so I do not have to do all the deactivate reactivate garbage.

Will SD do this for Adobe apps and others or do you have to restore the entire thing?

Thanks and looking forward to the 10.5 version to do a machine wipe and clean install of Leopard. BTW. Leopard is running great but I have a few little hichups with audio and wireless that I am hoping a non upgrade install will clean up like I have heard.

Any efforts made to copy protect the software by tying it to the Mac or the drive will likely need to be "deactivated" and "reactivated" when restored.
