I personally take exception to that statement (a little bit) :) We *ALL* understand the need for a solution, and I don't see that a serial numbered device is a final solution at all. As has already been said, whatever code you write to check the serial number can be disassembled, removed and therefore usurped by a determined hacker/cracker. We personally abandoned registration codes and locked licenses in our software some years ago, we have around 40,000 users worldwide who were causing our Helpdesk an ongoing nightmare when they changed versions of windows or moved to another PC etc., and thus required new codes. It was a question of support costs vs lost revenue, we don't think we've lost too much revenue (though there's no acid figure), but we certainly have a more relaxed Helpdesk that is considerably cheaper to run.
