when i worked in localisation one of the tools that we used had to have a dongle plugged into the serial port at the back of the pc to work, it it was not there then the software would not work. I don't know if you can buy this as an add on to your own software or not.

I mean how can an executable file put in a CD can read, that it has been installed once and cannot be installed anymore except for once.Apart form talking about the user's HD serial number(Also not including the third party software). Let's just say if I have made a program and publish it outside the internet, so what is for sale is a program put in a CD in market, how can a program protect itself from being copied twice.Is there an API function that can do this.
