Take a closer look at your software licenses. If it is like any I have 
ever read by using the s/w you agree to abide by the license. And every 
s/w license I have read has a clause that you agree that only one copy of 
the software is ever run at one time(assuming single run-time license). I 
quote form the last piece of s/w I purchased:

"4. Confidentiality: You agree to maintain the Software in confidence and 
to not disclose the Software to any third party without the express 
written consent of Adaptec. You further agree to take all reasonable 
precautions to preclude access of unauthorized persons to the Software."

Every s/w license I have read has a clause very similiar to this one. So 
if you advertise that you are leaving all of your licensed s/w on the hd, 
then you have most likely, knowingly violated your agreements with the 
owners of the s/w.
