Does anybody here have a background in or some good links to resources on preventing piracy for an application that I've written?
I wrote a data acquisition and processing application that is realistically only going to be used for a few computers, as the hardware it interfaces with is quite rare and expensive (tens of thousands of dollars).
I was hoping to incorporate a hashing function into my software that generates a key from the following information on someone's PC:
-CPU ID/type
-Motherboard ID
-Windows Installation Date
-Amount of RAM installed in the machine
Then, whenever someone needs to activate the software, they must contact the product author.
If anyone could assist me with at least finding some good reading on this, it would be very much appreciated.
Code samples/snippets would be great too.
Thank you all in advance.
