While I am not an expert on the subject, I don't think it should affect your license. The license is basically per-user rather than tied to specific components; actually I understand that several people can use it on the same computer, but the general principle is that the use is done in such a way that different people don't use a single license simultaneaously. "Like a book", as they said in some license agreement.
Changing components might, of course, affect specific technical aspects of validation (the O.S. MIGHT give false alarms), but, IMNSHO, this doesn't have anything to do with your violating copyright law.
