Bypass Hardware Identification Module
Hello Experts,
I have a potential client who has enquired whether it would be possible to bypass a Hardware Identification Module that is built into a Windows Mobile App.
Basically, he obtains the software, which is already preloaded into a HTC P3470 Windows Mobile 6 from some company. He then uses a another software called Sprite (I think), to clone the original software and set it up on another HTC P3470. However, the HTC on which the software is cloned comes up with a message saying "Wrong Target Device" or something along those lines. He does not have any code for the software.
Question is, is it possible in any way to bypass the module that recognises the device without having the code?

Although the expert did not actually say if it was possible to to by pass the Hardware Identification Module - I gave full grades because, as a Developer myself, he was very fair in pointing and confirming the professional eithics that we have to abide with when dealing with Clientelle advice.
I pretty much hold that in high esteem and truly appreciate the asisstance.

Thank you for your comment.
As a professional software services provider, I did advise the client that the best way to go forward in such a situation was to have a similar bespoke software developed without violating the copyrights of the Company he initially obtained the Software from. As trying to get the obtained Software to work by either Reverse Engineering, Hacking or Cracking would account to a technical fraud.
However, having a similar Software designed would not infringe copyrights ... I wanted to have some expert view point clarify this for me further.
Any final comments to add on to that before I award the points to you?
Well Appreciated,
