When locking a program to a user's computer, these snippets are useful.

Get user's IP address:

        private void ipaddress()
        {
            String strHostName = Dns.GetHostName();
            IPHostEntry iphostentry = Dns.GetHostByName(strHostName);
            int nIP = 0;
            foreach (IPAddress ipaddress in iphostentry.AddressList)
            {
                ipadd = ipaddress.ToString();
                iphostname = strHostName;
                
            }  
        }

Get user's MAC address:

        private void getmac()
        {
                ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration");
                ManagementObjectCollection moc = mc.GetInstances();
                string MACAddress = String.Empty;
                foreach (ManagementObject mo in moc)
                {
                    if (MACAddress == String.Empty) // only return MAC Address from first card
                    {
                        if ((bool)mo["IPEnabled"] == true) MACAddress = mo["MacAddress"].ToString();
                    }
                    mo.Dispose();
                }
                MACAddress = MACAddress.Replace(":", "");
                mac = MACAddress;
        }

Get motherboard ID:

        private void getmobo()
        {
            ManagementObjectSearcher mbs = new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * From Win32_BaseBoard");

            foreach (ManagementObject mo in mbs.Get())
            {
                snn = mo["SerialNumber"].ToString().Trim();
            }
            if (snn == string.Empty)
            {
                snn = "No Serial Found";
            }
            
        }

Get Harddrive ID:

        private void hddss()
        {
            ManagementObject disk = new ManagementObject("win32_logicaldisk.deviceid=\"" + "C" + ":\"");
            disk.Get();
           hds = disk["VolumeSerialNumber"].ToString();
        }

I will add more when I find more.

very cool, so i would add the motherboard snippet to my program, then make the person send me there code and i enter it into my database and they can use the whole program?

Yupp, it works good in a authentication system.

thanks, i think horizon should add this on their program so people dont share there accounts. They can only sign up if there account and motherboard match, if they dont they cannot login, but they can ask for a mobo reset and login again and it automatically apply's the mobo to the account again. (users can only do it 1 every 3 months)

I think Horizon already has taken precautions for that
