I remember installing a copy of QuarkXPress (3.1 I think?) way back in the day. It was an upgrade copy, so it wouldn't install unless I pointed it to an existing QuarkXPress executable, but it was a freshly installed system so I didn't have one handy (and didn't fancy digging out the original floppies for 3.0).
On a whim, I pointed the installer to the application on the install floppy, which it happily accepted and proceeded with the installer.
TL;DR bad DRM has existed since DRM existed.
