Java-CD Installation Security
Someone, please look at this now!
I have developed a software and about to get it on the market. But there is something that is bothering me very much and i hope there is a solution to it.
Is there a way to limit a CD installation to just one system. In so doing, preventing it from being installed on other computers as to tackle duplication and pirating.
I know how to get the serial numbers and stuff for a particular system which is very unique to all computers and I was thinking that by getting the information back on to the CD as verification when subsequent installations are attempted would prevent this. But one problem, how do i write/get data back on to the CD during installation and what's worse, it's not every computer that has a writable drive. Can you just copy data unto the CD without burning(NO huh). Or is there a way?
Please,,, someone help a fellow java brother. It takes such a long time to develop a good java software, so I definately don't want somebody getting it for free like that. See what I mean.
