A lot of big players like adobe and microsoft don't seem to think this is a problem. In the past I have gotten cracks for legitimately purchased software from both because their licensing system is/was crap and would block access thinking my copy was not valid.
Pretty bad when the pirated versions of your software work better than the legit copy.

Microsoft has bribed their way into having power of police in Argentina.
the can legally obligate you to give them a report of how many computers and what operating systems you are using and they can request a judge's order to enter your company with the police to audit your infrastructure if they think you are not telling them the truth.
I they will do this kind of stuff without fear of losing face I don't think they will care if some legit customer gets hit by a false positive.
