I love the new seminar been waiting for some good seminars to come, I want more. I just finished watching Part 1 and wanted to know how hard would it be to generate a code that ties the persons computer ID into the key and maybe there name, so say they call up and say I had to reinstall the program because I had to rebuild my computer, would that computer ID be uniqe to their computer only and it would prove they were trying to reinstall the program back on the same machine? Would this be hard to do?

Open cmd and type HOSTNAME.

VBA
Dim sHostName As String
' Get Host Name / Get Computer Name
sHostName = Environ$("computername")

Dim sUserName As String
' Get Current User Name    
sUserName = Environ$("username")

You could use the techniques in the Security Seminar to get the currently logged in user.
