CD is checking their system, and know how to spoof it.

Who cares for the average user? You only need one competent user to crack
your software, the other ones will use Google or IsoHunt to find that
cracked software. In your case one wouldn't even need a crack.

It sounds like they're not worried about users determined to get around
the policy, just casual or accidental attempts to install on the wrong
PC.
