I don't see how that article is useful. In order to license the software it needs to contact the licensing server, if it can't contact the licensing server to check if it is licensed then it wouldn't allow you to license it a second or subsequent time. I have also seen mention of an issue with removable media, if that is being considered as part of the hardware to determine if the machine is the same one attached to the license (similar to how windows Id's a machine) someone has some explaining to do. I can't see why you would consider removable media when determining that since it is just that, removable and may no longer be there. If that were the case, you would have to know what removable media was installed when you installed the software or it may continue to consider it a different machine. That also begs the question of does that include drives that use bitlocker? If so, will it not see the drive if you don't unlock it as part of the verification process? I hope not.
