No, there is no intended lock of an installed system to a particular 
machine. What would be the point, if you are free to install Ubuntu on as 
many machines as you like? And yes, it usually works, but it isn't 
guaranteed. One problem is the network card which has the wrong MAC 
address in the file "/etc/udev/rules/70-persistant-net-rules". So you 
should delete the entry in that file before moving the drive.
