I have an application that allows me to create only 2 user accounts, but for my work I need much more. I've tried using proxy without any success.
Apparently they use some sort of hardware identification (mac address, HDD serial number, etc...). Or they also could create some file at the time of installation.
What are the possible ways to force the application think that this is a COMPLETELY different computer? Can you suggest some software that would track the requests to the OS and spoof the response? Or maybe a suitable virtualization software?
I would really appreciate any help and I'm ready to offer a compensation for this work.

I would heavily advise you check the license agreement for this application. You may find that for commercial usage (which you implied you're doing because of your work), the application may have a licensing cost to go beyond 2 user accounts. (I find most applications that limit usage to 2 accounts are generally intended for trial purposes, with the intent to purchase the software later.) Since you didn't name the specific application, I can only guess that your intent is to circumvent licensing restrictions, which, generally speaking, is against the law.

While there are certainly some perfectly legitimate reasons for the technological feats you listed, I find it hard to believe anyone from this forum would be willing to help you in your endeavors. My honest opinion would be to check the EULA for the application and find out if there is a legitimate means by which you can go beyond the 2 user limitation, perhaps by purchasing an appropriate license.
