Winn,

Is the application going to reside on a network? If so, you can use network security to help with this.

It sounds like there is a possibility that someone else could get their hands on the application. If you depend on the computer name, this person could simply copy the application to their computer, unplug from the network, and rename their computer to allow the application to run.
