Replying to PACE Anti-Piracy?

Hopefully somebody knows this:

I'm currently working on installing a program and right before the install is finished it says to complete I have to install PACE Anti-Piracy software. I looked into PACE on google and a bunch of people said it was basically spyware that is impossible to uninstall, and will slow down your computer a ton. I really want to install this program.

Does anybody have any experience with PACE Anti Piracy that might help me out?

Any help will be much appreciated.
