How are you restoring the DB? It only takes seconds to copy a backup of the KoboReader.sqlite and BookReader.sqlite files back to your Kobo from your computer. A sign out/sign in or factory reset takes a bit longer.

If you logged out and back in or did any of the flavours of factory reset, this will remove the activation.xml file from the .adobe-digital-editions directory. If you use the Kobo Utilities database backup tool, that directory is part of the backup. OTOH, you can copy activation.xml from one Kobo to another which saves worrying about running out of activations and having to jump through Adobe's hoop to get more added to your account.
