Do I need to re-install OS when I get a new motherboard?

Yes, you will need to reinstall, as you have a lot of new drivers to install, and your Windows will not recognize your new mobo, making it impossible to run at the beginning.

It's connected in the SSD. Which I will re-install. So Avast will be gone.

But will I be able to re-use the license key I bought?

I`m aware it`s installed in the SSD (you can`t have software installed in thin air :D ), but the license should not be connected to the motherboard you are replacing, so you should be able to re-use your license without any problem.
