Hardware specific programs?

Is their anyway to make a program only work on one computer? Or a specific computer? Which reminds me, I saw a post about getting a motherboard serial number, are they unique to each PC?

uhm

you can read the serial code of your motherboard.
There's a code who change for each motherboard.
In Delphi Super Page there's a component who could help you..but i don't remember the name of that component.
Anyway you could read a specific sector on your hdd, or you can do somethings else.
The way of God are infinites..

(I'm italian, =P sorryyyyyyyy) ^^

Hi,

You have to use things such as MAC addresses (NIC ID) or
use HDD serial numbers or use the CPU internal id, not all CPUs
have such an ID.

Using a combination of all 3 should help you nail down particular
systems hardware wise.
