Hi Peter,
I use a MAC address for this, sometimes a drive serial number or
computer serial number. This can only work if the configuration of the
computer isn't going to change. In one project, I take the MAC address
and check the license plus MAC address in a database. In another
project, I use the IP address to confine a license to a particular
organisation. It is also possible to hardcode information in the
software, if this is a unique project for one single customer.
The problem with these approaches is often that they take lots of
support hours and cause your customers a lot of frustrations. You
might want to think again before implementing such a system.
It isn't OT, once you start implementing it with RunRev :-) It is
doable.

Completely OT question. Do any of you do this? The method is that
the
machine on first run produces a machine ID, and you then issue a
license
key which is tied to that ID. The software can only be run on that
specific machine.
If so, or even if not, what is the usual and recommended package/
method to
use?
Peter
