URGENT - Serial number over network

[Jeff Barnes]

Hi Everybody,

I have a situation that I hope someone can help with....

I use a "software key" to protect my application from unauthorized copies.
The key is based on the serial number of the hard drive (nSerialHD())

I have just been asked if it is possible to install my program on a network and have others access the .exe via a shared drive letter.

The program runs but of course it looks at the LOCAL computers hard drive for the serial number not where the program is actually sitting (lets say drive X:)

Is it possible to get the serial number of the system where the program is sitting?


Thanks,

Jeff

You may try

Code: Select all  Expand view

nSerialHD( "X:\" )

where X is the network mapped drive but I'm not sure it will work.

Jeff,

You may want to try searching the forum for this. I seem to remember some discussion about this awhile back.

Hello Friends

I use one proprietary solution, geting a serial number in the server with nSerialHD, inputing a password code liberation and saving inside .EXE. The application runs on other computer with no problems, but don't moved.

But you can test NSLock.OCX too, review this post:

Thanks everybody.

Trata de que se revise o chequee el numero serial solo y exclusivamente desde el equipo servidor con una funcion de CTIII que se llama NETDISK()
o algo parecido de esta manera cualquiera estacion de trabajo no verifica este numero y podra correr libremente, a mi me funciona pruebala.

Hello rochinha,

From where can I get NLSOCK.OCX ?

With best regards,
