Your problem (access controls for the purpose of enforcing a software license) is similar to that of security/encryption in general. But the number one rule is: never roll your own crypto. I think that definitely applies here.
Consider how easy it is to defeat all of the identity mechanisms you might find. Then consider how easy it is to patch the binary to not execute the comparison that would drive it to execute the 'your software is unlicensed' code. Now consider how easy it is to download a patch which does that for everyone in the world.
Now try to balance your desire to thwart the users who can't figure that out against the impact on your legitimate users who will find your software to be 'broken' when they replace their failing hard disk (built with flood zone parts, e.g.:). How will your software react when you're on a platform with no NIC or disks (totally feasible, your software may last ages longer than any hardware API you use). Will it fail safe/paranoid, or fail compliant/trusting? Are you sure you really want to go ahead with this scheme? If you indeed need a license mechanism, consider an algorithm to produce license identification strings instead. @Brian: far from it.
But I am a reverse code engineer and I know what's possible and how feasible it is. None, I repeat, none of the solutions entirely implemented in code are secure. And it doesn't matter which crypto-algo you propose, because they all fail on one end: if you don't trust the user, you must never give him the tools to access whatever you want to protect.
So let's say you encrypt something and need to decrypt it on the user's machine, the (private) key must be somewhere on the machine. It seems you need to do some web searches to check what's cracked and what's not. – Nov 26 '11 at 0:48.
A hardware fingerprint or GUID(for the most part the same) is nothing more then taking info from multiple parts of your computer(id numbers, hd's internal serial number, hardware id from you sound card, your ethernets hardware mac address ect) and combining it in such a way as to identify the machine. Can you change it? Yes, but it involves changing your hardware(in some cases your OS as well). Since companies using hardware fingerprints and GUID's do not tell what what they get there info from its kind of hard to know what to change. There is no threat to you or your computer from its hardware ID(in most cases its just used for copy protection).
And most software is smart enough to know that a machine is still the same if you change 1 or 2 parts(Ie. Cpu and video card or hard drive and video card). More info on what hardware fingerprint you are worried about will let us give you more info. Your reply seems hard to understand.will do my best Identical systems will not have the same key as most pieces of hardware have a unique ID. CPU's do and so do network cards and hard drives.video cards i think are the same. MS will be able to tell.
You can only run windows on one machine at a time. If you windows is OEM (came with a computer or got it OEM from a computer store, plain case) it is locked for the most part to your hardware. If you have the retail copy (staples, futureshop, best buy, radio shack ect either way it has a bit fancy box) you can activate it on a new machine as long as you take it off the old one(legally at least) What do all your old computers have for an os? XP do you want to use your old XP on a new machine? Or new XP on the old one? If you are building a new computer you should be able to get an OEM copy of windows XP MCE(media center edition, its the same as pro with the media capabilities added) for 120-140 or so from the store you get the parts from. So in short when you active windows it will send MS the hardware info in question.and if you reactivate often or the id is changed you will have to call ms(the activation windows will tell you to call) Bottom line.you need a copy of windows for each computer(legally).
I am not getting into the conversation of software piracy.if its working now.use it.if not call ms if its genuine. They will help you.if its cracked.well you kind of on your own. That is exactly to what I am referring to. What right does a software company have the legal right to take information off my personal computer? I purchased the software. And no license is going to get in the way.
If MS and all other software companies are concerned about piracy they should reduce the cost of thier software. It is rediculous to have to pay two hundred dollars or more for an operating system. Keep pricing the home user out of the mainstream and piracy will continue unabated. It is a game like a labyrinth.
And most companies tech support is abysmal at best. So it is illegal to put a program on more than one machine unless you buy more licenses which only last a year. It is okay though for a software company to invade your private property. Sorry I am with the crackers. Posted on at 06:20:35 AM That is exactly to what I am referring to.

You pay per set. You can get around it, but with digital its a new game. As for once a year.
Thats only for software updates. Most non updating software is not like this(even windows with its updates is a one time thing. Buy it.get updates for free.). There is also a free alternative to everything. MS Office - Open Office Photoshop - The gimp(not quite as good but free) 3ds max, maya ect - Blender(not dead on but close) There are lots of others. You can even use Linux as an alternative to windows. Now to see if from the developers point of view.
They spend 2+ years designing a piece of software. Now its time to recover the development, pr and testing costs(and make a living). On top of this there may be software updates that will need to be developed for new OS's and other reasons So thats where that comes in.
Also when you install windows the terms of use clearly state you are granted a copy of the software to install on one computer. I see nothing wrong with Microsoft's current practice for XP. Now for privacy try games, thats where you get to loose(or potentially) some privacy at times. Lookup starforce and securom(in bioshock is almost a damn rootkit and it even limits your number of game installs) if you want to see things gone wrong. Unfortunately they sneak this stuff in the end user license agreement and stick you with it.
Either way you are entitled to your opinion and many will share it as well. Enjoy the forums.
