The best solution I could think of would be to retrieve the computers
primary MAC address (Network Interface Identifier), however there are
a couple of issues with this.
1) It can be spoofed relatively easily
2) It will change if the user removes or replaces that network
interface.
There must be a way though, after all, Vista ties you to the original
mother board you install it on!!!

All,
First, losing the List is really going to hurt me.
My question: Can anyone suggest a way or have a code snippet to
obtain a (relatively) unique identification of a Windows machine?
I have tried wading through msdn stuff but it is way over my head.
I am looking for some information that will remain relatively
consistent and apply to the physical computer. One suggestion was
to look at several environment variables and match at least two of
them to those of the originally licensed machine.
My problem is that I could not find a list of the env variable
names - and have never applied declares - and don't have any idea
of the returned data structure. (Although, I believe I can master
declares after obtaining Charles' book.)
Does the RB system.environment class access Windows machines?
Would this be a good place to start?
Thanks,
Art
