Hi everyone,
Vb6 .exe application running on client’s machine with that machine actual CPU, HD serial numbers and the installed Windows No. and machine's name and some other data all taken directly from the machine and put inside the soft as Constants, to be compared with those on the machine. Is it also possible for intruder or trader to copy the soft and run it on another machine?
Thanks for any respond and advice

If you are hard coding the information into the application, then short of decompiling the application to get access to the information to be able to fake it or alter it, it would be fairly difficult to get it to run on another machine.

Of course this limits the application to be run on the machine it was intended to run on only and cannot ever be run on anything else again unless it is recompiled.
