Hi;

Has anyone found a good one for .NET and/or java? I need a system to tie
each license to a specific machine – but I figure IP address is fine (as
opposed to MAC address) in the java case. And in fact IP address handles the
case of a cold/warm backup.

??? – thanks – dave

Hi

I think mainly it is divided into two categories, software or hardware.
Commonly hardware approach is more secure, due to its physical separation.
But for IP address binding, if someone's machine is using DHCP
configuration, then its IP address is changeful, it is hard to binding.

Hi;

I hadn't thought of that - very good point on the DHCP.

Hi

Yes, so relatively, the hardware is more secure and flexible, because the
enduser can use it on any machine once he has pluged in the hardware key.
