Duplicating the Volume ID dialog box

Some installed applications use the Volume ID (a 32-bit value)
as a key to verify the proper installation of the software,
supposedly for piracy prevention.
For example, some Anti-Virus products are known to be sensitive to
the Volume ID value of the system volume and display a warning
message suggesting a re-installation.
In such a case, copying the Volume ID from the Source volume to the
Target often alleviate the problem.
This feature allows you to duplicate the Volume ID for such a purpose.

Actually, our stance on such prolems is that all problematic
applications be re-installed on the cloned environment
(e.g., using the original install CD).
The user-generated data that are associated with the application
should be preserved through the re-installation.
However, each application behaves diffferently. Therefore,
you should not discard any data on the Source volume until the
behaviors of all applications have been fully tested in the
the Target Volume environment.
Fortunately, applications that cause such a problem seem to be
in a small minority.
