I don't know how much security you need and what sort of application you
develop...

Any combination of the following ideas could be used :

- IPAdress
  could help to identify computer
  API : take a look at the winsock2 API in the online help

- Timestamp of Login and Logout
   is helpful in combination with IPAdress

- MAC Adress of the NIC
   sould be unique worldwide
  API : take a look at the winsock2 API in the online help

- Login used when authenticating against your server

- User name used to login to the computer
