Hard Disk Serial Number lock when running as admin

Just figured out that the 'Hard Disk Serial Number' lock will return a different # depending on whether the program is run as a user or as an administrator on Windows 7 64 bit (I'm running a 32 bit program). Your 'Compare Hardware ID' program said:

run as user: 9821-B1F9-9BD6-40B4
run as ADMIN: FF85-B1F9-9BD6-E103

First hardware id: Second hardware id:
Windows Serial Key
locked, unique id: 7D5Elocked, unique id: 7D5E
Hard Disk Serial Number
locked, unique id: BE48locked, unique id: 5F91

It didn't mention that one in the manual, I guess using 0 changes for Hard Disk Serial Number lock is not any option.

I just tried a test where I selected all hardware locks and then ran the resulting protected program as a user and then ran it as an administrator. (32 bit program running on 64 bit windows 7) The only hardware id that came back different was the 'Hard Disk Serial Number'! Here are my results for the information of other users:

run as USER: 7EE93-4F9C3-33EAE-2BAD2-3A6EB-896AD-71155-175E4
run as ADMIN: EAAC3-4F9C3-33EAE-2BAD2-3A6EB-896AD-716DE-275E4
