This whole argument is totally mute.
When it comes down to it, it is all a matter of trust.
Unless you are prepared to disassemble every executable that someone gives to you, you have to trust that the author isn't going to do something bad to you.
For example we only have the Renguard Teams word that Renguard won't format the hard drive of anyone running Final Rengade. In most cases a program has the potential to do anything your user account has rights to do.
So if you are logged in with admin rights the program can format your hard drive. The same goes for serial numbers you either Trust that the Renguard team will not steal your number (or you don't), if you don't trust them don't install the client.
