Using Labview 6.1, I would like to distribute an application that has limited functions until a user puts in a password but I don't think the password protection in the App builder will work for me.
Since passwords get passed around like candy on the internet, I would like to have the password be specific for each PC. That is I would like Labview to be able to read a unique ID number from the persons PC; i.e., like a serial # or something like that. With that unique number, I would go through a formula I create that would generate another number--the password.
The person would then call us up with their ID # that Labview has found, we would give them an unlocking code for that #, and then inside my application, I would check if that
# was appropriate for their PC.
Does anybody know how to read a unique number from a PC using Labview? I can do all the rest if I can just read in that number.
