Copy protection help
-
I would like to make some sort of copy protection that only allows the software to run on one computer with the given registration key. First i thought that the user should send me the serial number of the c: drive, a number that my program would show and ask the user to send it to me and get a key in return, based on the serial number. But the serial number can be changed by the user, or when formatting the drive. Is there any other kind of serialnumber that i can find on every computer that can be the base for a registration key?

I know quite a lot about this subject and I have made a few of my own software protection schemes in general, im also good at cryptography, I have made a few basic implementations of what you are calling a "registration process" feel free to message me for help.

Get the ethernet ID number. I don't know how you can do that but I know that that would be a unique number that cannot be changed. none
Yes, i'm sure that your right, it is unique. But i would guess that not everyone have a network card, or i can not assume that they have. It must be some sort of number that can be found on every computer. The harddrive serial is good, if it only was the same all the time and didn't change after a format.
