Dear LarryJ,
GetVolumeInformation() is not the smart way to protect your
software. The Volume number can easily be changed by many
simple programs (For example Google for: volumeid.exe).

The better way is to read the real HD number. If you want to
learn how to do that Google for 'diskid32.exe'. You will find
the complete source code (VC++) which is in fact more or
less the pure C and you can easily change it to BCB VCL
style.

Good luck,
Vladimir Stefanovic
