Lock Application using a hardware component's serial number
Hello,
I am trying to find a way to prevent illegal use for my application by getting a hardware component serial number and put it somewhere. Then, my application wil retrieve this info. and do the check.
What hardware component you suggest to use for this job? CPU? Motherboard? MAC address of the network card (even some machines doesn't have network cards).
And how to get this serial number from hardware component using Delphi code?
I need something works on all hardware vendors which my application might run on.
