I work for a software house and they want to know if its possible to copy
protect a program such that it will only work on one hard disk,i.e. a
signature/serial on hard disks.

They assure me they did this many years ago in dos and wonder if its now
possible to write code in windows to do this or any other way.

I have never heard of this and did not even think it was possible.  Any
ideas?

Cliff
p.s. it this is off topic i apologise but i did not know where to post this.
