Hi all,
A client recently approached me, and is asking for a solution to protecting their subscription based content from copying and redistribution. Most of what they are asking for is doable in a number of ways, but the last item is what is really giving me a mental block.
What is required is to limit a given users access to a specific computer (ie a user can log in and access content from computer a, but if they move to computer b then they are denied access). This is to be done over the internet, not an intranet.
I can provide a semi-solution to this using cookies, but was wondering if anyone had come across this type of request previously, and could offer some advice on implementation or products that could achieve this.
