That, unless your friend has a "rent contract", is totally illegal...

We use the same in our product, only coupled with a bit more ID taken here and there.
Moreover, we crypt it with 4 keys generated from various sources, so it's hard to take over :-D


However, why your friend has not simply called the Software House to re-register the software?

So, what happens to the people who are using your software legally if your company goes bankrupt and they have to reinstall?

They call the new company that owns the product rights, obviously.
