I am currently using ActiveLock in my code for licensing. I use Lock to Hard Disk. Things are working ok. I use a per-machine licensing scheme. But recently i...
Have you searched the archives for this? Im sure i remember seeing this before, we use the hdd serial number as returned from the OS, and IIRC it _can_ change...
Dan is correct, the drive serial number we lock to is the computer assigned serial number and it will change every time the user re-formats their drive (well,...
This is a bomber. This basically means lockToHD is not worth much. Any amatuer user can claim that he has reformatted the disk and ask for a freebie. With...
