Using Recovery for OS Install

I have replaced an early 2009 iMac with a new one.

I've erased the old HD and am trying to re-install Mavericks using the Recovery option. But, it wants my Apple ID to proceed.

If I enter my Apple ID, will it be linked to this machine once I've got Mavericks installed and the iMac moves to it's new home?

Bob.
