"We bought 38 licenses for $x and asked the company to remove the lock, so they clearly allowed us to install it 100.000 times" doesn't sound really convincing.
If it was really agreed that the software would be installed on so many computers, I'd simply expect them to issue 100.000 licenses.
Sure, that answers the question of how many licenses they have and why. But it doesn't answer the question of what rationale could be used to think that 38 licenses would be good for 100k installs.

Why 38, not 1?
