[AccessD] Registration routine for a commercially-sold Access app?

I would second that. It's unique world wide and fairly stable (NIC cards
don't get changed all that often). I've got code for it if anyone needs it.
Just send me and e-mail off-list.

If you roll your own, I would go off of the MAC Address.  That's unique, and
easy to retrieve.

I need to come up with a registration/licensing routine for an Access
app that a client of mine will be selling.  Basically, my client is
concerned about one customer distributing the application to others.

I want to roll my own algorithm, but then it occurred to me there
might be a better way.  Right now I'm experimenting with validating
the app against the hard drive serial number, but that's fraught with
shortcomings.  I'm also thinking about using an obscure registry key.

Who's had to come up registration methods before, and how did you do
it?
