Just so. Since MOVCPM contains a copy of CP/M itself, said copy also
contains a serial number, which must match the one of the system
you're executing MOVCPM on. If you've got a debugger, the point
where the check is made is easy to find and disable, however.
Part of DRI's OEM agreement was that each copy of CP/M had to be
serialized.
