How would they know it was pirated?

When you hand over the PC they don't (to the best of my knowledge) pop
by your house and search it for licenses so they couldn't possibly
determine whether the installed software was legitimate or pirated.

They don't need to. When they find out all the software on it is
registered to CrAcK1Ng D@@d they probably smell a rat.......
