Strictly speaking they are just different SKUs, not different models. MX204 : Chassis + Fan trays + PEMs MX204-HW-BASE : Base MX204 chassis PLUS perpetual Junos software license AFAIK , code that has enforcement is limited to specific scaling or more advanced features, but outside of that, base things just work. Don't take that as gospel though.
