I want to prevent some software I've written being "illegally" distributed, and one way of doing this is to read some hardware specific info from the "legal" user's computer and save it. Since Eu has low-level routines, I know this must be possible, but just not sure how to do it. Any advice appreciated. I was thinking of maybe reading the serial number of the hard drive?
I'm surprised the std lib doesn't provide a function for this.
Search the forum for "hard drive serial number." You'll find a discussion or two about it, with code.
Also, this lib might work.
