Hmm... If someone got $10 to burn and runs the installation procedure
through 'strace -f' or similar? I bet they are using a system call, and
I bet that with some smart system call redirection you can fool the
software into thinking anything you like. 

(and in case of emergency, simply hack the appropriate kernel drivers
;-)).

Copy protection always was braindead, but it has been completely,
utterly and absolutely braindead since the 80386.

(fond memories of flipping through 'Programming the 80386' and hacking
DOS software that never knew it was running inside our homebrew
virtualization setup ;-))
