CUSTOMER: Look, I’ve tried everything I can think of to convince this stupid program that it’s never been installed anywhere before, and it’s just not working. Tell me how to disable this “digital rights management” thing so I can use the product I paid for.
ALEX: No, I can’t do that. It’s too risky.

ALEX: Yes, if we disabled the DRM features you might “inadvertently” install the product a second time.
CUSTOMER: I can’t even “inadvertently” install the product for the FIRST TIME.
ALEX: Well, it’s just being careful.
