Is OAuth token-based authentication tied to a physical machine or to the private key?

I've set up an OAuth authentication between my computer and a server. I did the OAuth dance and have generated and obtained the keys/secrets required to access private data from the server with OAuth.
I was wondering if there is anything restricting me from using the OAuth keys on another machine?
In other words could I just copy the private key and resource owner key/secrets to another machine and use it to authenticate with the server with OAuth?

Yes, You can use them on another machine to perform authentication. OAuth is not tied to any machine. Consider your Google/FB login, you can authentication from any machine.
