Revolution will return system version information (systemVersion, QTVersion), information about its own version (buildNumber, revAppVersion, version), and information about the platform (platform, environment, machine, processor). But there's nothing I can think of that will return a unique value on each machine. One possibility would be to write an external to return the MAC address or something similar (bearing in mind that there are failure modes for this kind of hardware checking, and you may end up annoying legitimate users). Another possibility is to write a preferences file with encrypted information concerning the machine type and current registered user. (This one is not as foolproof but will foil casual users.) -- Jeanne A. E. DeVoto ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.runrev.com/ Runtime Revolution Limited - Power to the Developer!
