I think I found the solution in the FAQ under "How can I get the Disk ID from a Windows PC?" They apparently use the volume serial rather than the hard drive's unique hardware serial number, so all I had to do was change the volume on my new drive to match the contents of the License.dat file.
The apparent trivial nature of the copy-protection makes me suspect that something else is going on. Perhaps my system works only because other system components match, or perhaps it is only working for awhile to fool hackers. I'll ask if they ever get back to me...
