Ask for a credit card or their social security number. I doubt they will want to share that information with others.
-----Original Message----- From: John Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 6:58 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Preventing users sharing accounts I have completed a site using Coldfusion. When a user buys a subscription to the site, the license is for that person on the computer he purchased the subscription on. I do not want people sharing passwords. I have implemented a few different authentication methods including an activeX controller that puts a unique ID on the person computer, but this solution seems very cumbersome. If possible I would like a solution that is less cumbersome and works in the majority of cases. If activeX is the only way to go, then I will do that. I'm sure some of you have faced this type of problem before and this is probably a common problem. I'm just looking for a good solution that works in the majority of cases and does not make it too difficult for the user. Possibly something that uniquely identifies the user that is not temporary like cookies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
