Has anybody out there created a utility to copy protect a software ?
I tried to use the Ethernet address (i.e. 8:0:2b:24:42:55) of the
ethernet interface card (the address is unique) but I coulnd't find a
way to get it by software.
Does anybody knows a different way to copy protect a program or a
portable way to get that address (without being a super user) ?
