Using the CDs the one time is not going to destroy them, and requesting you to at least make the attempt is sound advice. Besides, if you copied them then they've already been 'used'.

If it turns out that only the disk copies are preventing you from installation, you might try a different software package for duplicating them. You also could try using something like WinISO to extract the contents of the disks to your harddrive, then manually burn them to disk being sure to label the CD appropriately. CD protections prevent execution of the data without the disk, but I have never known an installation to check for protection.
