I need some advice

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all,

I made an intranet web site. I installed on a formated computer. I use windows and AppServ (for php and mysql).

My question is: I want my intranet only work on this computer. If somebody else tries to copy my site and use on another computer it sould not work.

is there any way i can add to php code to check windows serial number or something like that?

Can you suggest me any solution.

Thanks.

Add a username and password to login to the site?

I'd say a single pc use would be nice to limit by mac address, but this is not truely possible in php.
You can get that on a LAN but not globally, unless there is something new in php since 2007 which i dont know of

This may help you though regarding mac address':

But id go for a user name and password, i dont see why you'd ignore this to begin with

Adding user name and pass will not do any favor to me. People who i sold the computer and script can copy the script on the another computer and use the same user name and pass.

I want a solution which will make it imposibble to use the script on another computer.

If you are selling the script, you wont be able to limit it to that single pc in php. Any fool could edit a php file and just move it to another pc.

You will have to find a language which can accurately get the current machines MAC Address on opening the application and check it matches the one specified, which the user cannot open the file and just edit it out.

Make a simple script to check the Mac address and kill the script if its not your machine, however, you would still need to encrypt your script in order for this to work.
