Windows XP and QuarkXPress 6.x supposedly use a system similar to what
I wrote before where X of Y semi-unique identifiers are compared to
authenticate the computer. It is definitely not crack-proof, but it
can stop all but the most determined.
On Windows you're supposed to generate a GUID -- those are guaranteed
to be unique. The Windows Functionality Suite has a function that lets
you generate one of these (I believe it's in the released version, but
it may still be in the beta version). You can get more information
about GUID APIs here:
