Hello,

to protect my application from distribution, i like to generare a unique
identifier of the computer where my application runs. the user give us his
unique id und he gets a key from us. his puts the key inside the
application, which write the key to the registry.

Everytime when the application starts its compare the unique identifier with
the key.

My question is how to create a unique identifier of a computer. important
is, that this identifier is different from others computer.

perhabs, the identifier could include hardeware information.

any ideas? perhabs anybody has already solve my problem.

mike
