There is no problem with patching the program. (inlining rather than patching, since it is part of a suite that has also a hardware part and the hardware is checking for program integrity at startup).

Unfortunately, the serial is checked also when requesting updates through the update routine, and even patching the program wont pass the server check.

The serial is passed in cleartext so a patch that simply gives one random hash to check does not work.
