The only problem (as was pointed out on this list) is that many
machines keep changing their Mac address
and I am unaware of any other, more permanent, hardware feature
Livecode can grab hold of.
Another way to tie software (that you produce in LC) to hardware is to
distribute it on a USB flash drive, and tie it to the unique ID in the
flash drive's firmware. The flash drive effectively becomes a dongle and
you tell the software not to run unless it sees that particular flash
drive. It's not too hard.
