Unlocking software activation key software#

Then an employee can walk from computer to computer with your software on the USB stick and everything will 'just work'. Namely, you just plug in the TurboFloatServer address hosted somewhere on a company's network, save that info to the USB drive alongside your app. No, but you'll be able to do something similar with TurboFloat. the only hardware footprint would be the UID of the USB Key.)

And this problem isn't limited to cheap USB sticks either - it effects the whole market (cheap to expensive, brand to brand) My question: is it possible to use LimeLM to Activate() a software meant to run only on a USB Key but on different computers? (i.e. There's no way to reliably tell USB drive apart (we wish there was - this would be useful).

Unlocking software activation key serial number#

Unfortunately a great many USB keys either have a non-unique 'serial number' (that is, all keys of the same model/factory are stamped with the same serial number) or they have no serial number at all.

We've looked into this and it's nonviable. Hey Alexandre, USB Key UID (which all average/good USB Key have - a unique identifier). (This is only meant to block casual copying if the software is not run from the USB key our app would require a standard unlock with LimeLM but if it is started from a USB key we would check for the basic unlock with LimeLM based only on the USB Key UID and a licence file located on the key.) Would an option for that be possible (or would you be interested - sometimes it's possible but would shun doing it), knowing it's limitations? My question: is it possible to use LimeLM to Activate() a software meant to run only on a USB Key but on different computers? (i.e. This technique is sometime used as a cheap 'hardware lock' activation mechanism combined with a licence file - in principle like LimeLM but way simpler. What can be done is locking on a single USB key using the USB Key UID (which all average/good USB Key have - a unique identifier). We would like to package an application running directly from a USB key (and only from it).
