Manage /Control Multiple logins to a website
We host a website on tomcat. To be able to use our website we sell subscriptions. To ensure these are not abused we track IP's and ensure that only allowed IP's are able to log in.
However this means a public IP is allowed and if there are 10 pc's behind that public ip all are allowed. We always knew this and never bothered to look into it. But now with new licensing in place we want to be able to track how many different or individual pc's are accessing our Website.
Is there a way to record or obtain mac address of the remote pc's logging in or is there any other way to manage or control this.
Please advise thanks.

comment:
you cannot "trace" or track those users since no authentication mechanism is involved

Can we get internal IP of the users, by using any php code integreated on our website. combination of internal ip and external ip wil give us a clear idea.

sorry for not accepting the solutions .
I will also confirm what svenove said about the mac address. That can only be used by the router to map local devices.
