single user software installation

[ZaGras]

does anybody know how to make the program as a single user
installation, meaning that the program only can install on one pc but
can't on others pc??

Re: single user software installation

You could do that with the help of a CD and a key diskette and have the
program write on the diskette somewhere that it has been
installed...the refore to install to another computer, the program must be
uninstalled from it's original computer first.

Except that disk-imaging software can get around that pretty easily.

He means that if you rely on a key diskette or CD to protect your software,
a pirate can just use disk-imaging software (Symantec Ghost, for example)
to make an exact copy of your key disk. Verrrrry weak protection.

Use a dongle (a hardware device that must be connected to the computer
for the program to run). Have it connect to a server on the internet and
send some hardware specific information in order to register.

Unfortunately, there is no protection that can truly get around a
determined cracker. Go to any warez newsgroup and you will see literally
thousands of programs posted that have had their respective protection
schemes broken by crackers - passwords, time limits, dongles, CD checks,
server verification - all rendered ineffective.

On an unrelated note, please take the time to type out "thanks" instead
of "10s" - it's only 3 more keys and is a lot easier to understand.
