Now there is a lot of guesswork here. I think on the Mac the only bit that is checked for a valid registration is the Ethernet Mac address. On Windows I think it is something else, probably the harddisk serial number. The registration is definitely _not_ checking on RAM, processor speed and components. That would be pretty silly, as it would make a registration unvalid if any of these are changed, and MakeMusic would have to constantly issue new registrations for people who upgrade their system.
