When I got the legit copy, I uninstalled pirate copy and then rebooted, then installed the new one. I could register my serial, and use the launcher...but it still tells me in the launcher welcome window that I have an unauthorized copy.

I wonder if it would still make that claim if you uninstall the game, delete the registry entries, and then try to re-install it.
I think there is stock in it being related to the registry entries.
Out of curiosity, I opened my launcher a while ago, I got a pirated Reloaded to Razor btw. It says I have an unauthorized copy. After that, I followed instructions to uninstall SecuRom from here: http://reclaimyourgame.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68&Itemid=40. I have no idea whether I have SecuRom installed, but I did so anyways. To make the long story short, there was one file that got detected in my registry (CmdLineExt.dll), which I deleted. Now, when I open my launcher, it loads properly. I still have the pirated version.
So maybe try to follow the securom removal instructions and see if that helps.
