Alienfan-CLI v9.0.0.1 "Hardware not compatible." #452

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is. CLI application says my hardware is incompatible for fan control, which is odd because hwinfo64 has a feature to set the fan speed manually and it works. I was hoping for something more integrated...

To Reproduce To reproduce, simply open terminal in AlienFX Tools directory and enter "alienfan-cli" and the message will appear whether theres a command or not

System (please complete the following information):

Model: Alienware 17
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

Yes, older Alienware (prior to m-series) does not support the control method i use. It can be controlled directly via FanControl or HWInfo. Newer systems can not compatible with direct control, instead.
