Re: How to get a unique ID from a PC
*I apologize for selling a product on a public form* ... but the thing is YOU (DanielK) ALSO PROMOTED A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT ALLADIN ... so you were the first one to do that. I read quite a number of messages and found out that you were promoting a product and no one else did.
and the product I talked about is not software-based system at all. It is just a SDK that uses hardware identification at its core and by the way ***any hardware can be used because of custom machine identification ... thus hardware dongles can be used if the developer wants to. Do check it out properly ... don't just quote the website news or product page info. And why the heck should people attach extra hardware to their systems and why should developers increase the per-unit overhead cost of their software products????????

A. I only promote Aladdin when the subject comes up, and I believe the product can help.
B. I do not spam the forum.

For the same reason you need to go through a magnetic detector when you leave a store. Software developers have to constantly deal with hackers distributing illegal copies of their software. Hardware protection is the only way to stop this.
Got a question? try looking it up in MSDN first. Msdn comes with the Visual Studio, and can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com

Re: How to get a unique ID from a PC
A: I also promoted my product when the subject came up. Definitely I didn't talk about it when some was asking a help regarding Winsock in the forum!
B: I believe that hardware is the best solution. But you must be convinced that my product didn't use ordinary random keys to implement copy-protection. It is flexible and can system hardware (default) or hardware attachments or anything else.
Okay, let's not fight :-))
