Folks,
This topic always generates lively responses, every time it comes up which is often. I believe the experts here, because they are experts. But I wonder this: there are machine-specific licensing apps that seem to pull some kind of number out of a machine when you install it, then you contact the software vendor and give them that number and they give you a license activation code for that machine only. The license won't work on another machine. My guess is that maybe the program is writing (and hiding) a number into the system somewhere then revealing it. (but not its location) Is this a correct assumption?

Good lord. I was trying to continue the thread about hardware ID's and somehow it appears as a new thread!! I don't know how that happened! It's an orphaned thread, for crying out loud.

billybobk, just red flag it and ask management to remove it if you want.
