When I restore data to a new computer, do I lose purchased software?

MacBook recently stolen. Planning to buy a new one, but I don't want to repurchase Pages, Numbers, and Keynote since I have already bought it once. When I restore backed-up data from external Apple drive to new machine, will the old software also transfer and be useable?
