 Is there anything identifying a computer uniquely that I can use to
determine if this is the same computer as last time I made the call. I've
been considering the Mac Address but it can change if the network adapter is
exchanged or if there are more than one adapter etc.
What I'm thinking about is all the different GUIDs. Would there be any of
these that I could call more than once and that would answer with the same
GUID.
I'm trying to determine if my application is still running on the same PC
that it was installed on and if not prompt the user to register for
additional licenses.
