Lock down the URL of an application for single device
-
I need to be able to lock down the URL of a small application so that the client cannot use the URL with multiple devices. I need to be able to assign some type of generated key/license so that if the client purchases 1 URL they can only use that URL on 1 device. This has nothing to do with sessions and or restricting an employee by the device. Can something like this be done? Can a unique key be added at the end of the URL and save into the device cookies or something like that Any directions?

Unique keys can be added to URLs, can be sent via headers, can be stored on the server-side so that when a request comes by the URL is served otherwise a redirect is issued. There are several ways at doing this, how do you want to do that, is a bit confusing. The thing is, your requirement needs a license, or a process that tells the system whether a user can access this information or not. ASP.NET doesn't care about purchase systems, licensing, access etc. You have to manage that and tell ASP.NET, how to configure itself to allow/disallow access to certain parts of the application. That said, this is entirely possible, please be more specific or show some code so that we may guide you further. :-)

If you read the comments to that answer, you'll see that it's retrieving the server's MAC address. As are almost all the other answers on that thread. If the client is not on the same subnet as the server, there is no way to retrieve the MAC address of the client from the server. There have occasionally been hacks which exploited security vulnerabilities on the client to allow you to retrieve it, but those are fixed almost as soon as they're found.
