Hi,
I have a standard delphi .exe that I want to distribute to authorised
Users, but do not want the application to be copied/sent to their
friends/colleagues.
I need a way of linking the executable to a specific computer, and only
allowing it to run on that machine. I have already looked at using the
disk serial number to make the computer unique, so that if John sent the
executable to Fred, it wouldn't work on his compuer because the disk
serial number is different. But, the administration of this is a bit
unwieldy, because Fred would have to run a program to tell him his unique
disk serial number, he would email it to me, and I could then save it to a
server, and have the application check the disk serial number on startup -
or something similar.
Basically, I'd like some advice on how to best control software &
distribution easily, quickly, and cheaply - preferably by using a Delphi
component, or by any other easy method
Regards,
Steve Bowker
