You can lock it with a dongle as lbertacco stated, but using the method he mentioned will result in a drastic performance hit within the application. Wrapping an EXE and then making it look for specific hardware on start up will freeze up all but the newest computers. Your customers will not appreciate it, especially if they paid for something that is truly worth a dongle(i.e. EXPENSIVE)!<br />

Well I don't know exactly what mugman21 mean, but checking for the presence of a serial, parallel or USB dongle plus decrypting the exec takes just a fraction of a second and you won't notice it even on very old hardware (even old 386)
