Hardware ID in ASP.NET Shared Hosting environment

Here's is how it can be done if you have dedicated host http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2333149/how-to-fast-get-hardware-id-in-c However, in shared hosting environment, generally references to System.Management is restricted. Any suggestion? I hesistate to, for example, rely on just IP address...

And why do you have such an idea as finding out hardware ids of a web server????????? Why do you need that? Hosting companies often use virtualization - and your application could seamlessly be moved from one "computer" to a different one, just as load balancing, failover, whatever require.

for dedicated host, hosting admin would have root access to your machine and thus can get to our asp.net app which churn out "Evaluation Licenses". As mean to lock the app to a particular machine, we generate a license. The app only works if running on the dedicated hardware. Now with shared hosting or virtual machine, this won't work. Do you have something to suggest? Have you implemented any licensing/locking scheme that'd work in shared hsoting environment, virtual machines? or cloud? where hardware id not viable?
