It may not be strictly legal, but here's one case where it's morally OK:

If you are sure that the ban is indeed done by hdd serial only maybe the best choice is to buy a new hdd and use the one you have for backups.
Or maybe you want to try to install the game on a vm ?

no,no

There must be some free software to change the hdd serial...

How would you do this?

My friend told me that hdd serial can be temporary changed under windows kernel memory or something like that, but I don't know anything about kernel..

seems weird to ban by serial number, since almost anyone can just clone to a new drive and get back up and running again. I would assume more likely you Username and IP address were banned. But that is speculation.

Would you all consider NOT answering or giving help on threads about cracking / stealing passwords ?

nope, they are banning on hardwareid that is generated from hdd serial id and motherboard id, so basicly changing serialid would change hardwareid

Can you, while in God mode, stop technicians from messing things up with DIY techniques before sending their client's drive in for assessment?

I'm an atheist, but I'm still looking for a deity. Spildit, you're almost there. :-)

We don't do it for fun, we do it for cold, hard ca$h. Not sure we're missing something.
