No, the root disk will be an encapsulated UFS filesystem, and will boot. You should boot and then apply the license.
Actually, thinking about this further is could be best to unencasulate the disk before moving it and reencapsuleate it at the new site.

vxbootsetup
vxbootsetup(1M) vxbootsetup(1M)
NAME
vxbootsetup - set up system boot information on a Veritas Volume Manager disk
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxbootsetup [-g diskgroup] [medianame ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The vxbootsetup utility configures physical disks so that they can be used to boot the system. Before vxbootsetup is called to configure a
disk, the required volumes, standvol, rootvol and swapvol (and optionally, dumpvol) must be created on the disk. All of these volumes must
be contiguous with only one subdisk.
The -g option may be used to specify the boot disk group.
If no medianame arguments are specified, all disks that contain usable mirrors of the root, swap, /usr and /var volumes are configured to
be bootable.
If medianame arguments are given, only the disks that are associated with the specified disk names are configured to be bootable.
vxbootsetup requires that:
o The root volume must be named rootvol and must have a usage type of root.
o The swap volume must be named swapvol and must have a usage type of swap.
o The volumes containing /usr and /var (if any) must be named usr and var, respectively.
See the chapter "Recovery from Boot Disk Failure" in the Veritas Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide for detailed information on how the
system boots and how VxVM impacts the system boot process. The vxmirror, vxrootmir, and vxresize utilities call vxbootsetup automatically.
If you use vxassist, or vxmake and vxplex to create mirrors of the root volume on a disk, you must run vxbootsetup explicitly to make the
disk bootable.
ARGUMENTS
medianame
Specifies the disk name (disk media name) of a VM disk that is to be configured as bootable.
