Which program is that ? If your computer runs on Windows, perhaps the HDD model is stored in a registry key, which you could simply edit to replace it with the current model... Open regedit and do a search with the serial number from the former drive.
Or perhaps you could explain the issue to the developper and get a new license for the new drive...
