Hi Paul.
I wanted to know how you obtain the motherboard serial number.

dave,
Been doing that for about 4 years now. However, I have a simplified
sequence which executes at install time where :
I check the for the presence of a serial number (provided by me to the
client) in a control table;
The serial number, combined with the install disk drive and motherboard
serial number produces a 'key code';
The user sends the serial number entered, and the key codes generated to =
a
encryption resolution site;
The software at the site generates a series of 'return keys' for the =
user to
enter at the install screen;
The software is then installed (if the user does not screw up with the
return keys).
This prevents copying of the application software to run on a different
machine. However, should the user change motherboard or hard-drive,
legit-wise, the software requires another round of installation, but =
using
the same serial number.=20
This is a way of controlling who has the software, and prevents =
fraudulent
installations. There is no Demo mode.
