Hi Kevin, Hardware based keys are keys that use your CPU identification number as part of the encryption/decryption for the key. In theory each number in the CPU identification number will select a certain part of the end product key. For example, if you had a CPU identification number like 8125. The number 8 might generate some letters and numbers like jmfxz8. The 1 might generate qx9mf. The 2 might generate m7lgnx. The 5 might generate y85gnz.. Ok, you put that together and you get a 16 character product key that uses 8125 to create and compare the key to your CPU. If the product key you enter into your game does not match the CPU identification number the game lets you know the key is not valid. However, if the string of letters and numbers match up to the key created by your unique CPU identification number the program gets registered. That is the technique of making hardware based keys. Smile.
