If the software is executing on a physical hardware it is possible to identify the hardware by various parameters (cpu type/memory/disk label/mac address) ### Execution in a virtual machine -Generating a pc identifier on a virtual machine doesn't make much sense, since the vm can be copied as a whole elsewhere +Generating a hardware identifier on a virtual machine doesn't make much sense, since the vm can be copied as a whole elsewhere and there are few ways to detect this without using an external license server. * Usually when the machine is copied the MAC address is changed. But sometimes it changes on its own. Software publishers may want to use this as a last resort to prevent the vm for being cloned. It has to be verified case by case. -- Gitblit v1.9.1
