Here’s a simplified example using Base64 encoding (not secure alone – always use encryption in real apps): GetMachineID then Exit
uses Winapi.Windows, System.SysUtils, System.Classes; function GetMachineID: string; var VolumeSerial: DWORD; MaxCompLen, FileSysFlags: DWORD; RootPath: string; ComputerName: array[0..MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1] of Char; Size: DWORD; begin RootPath := 'C:'; GetVolumeInformation(PChar(RootPath), nil, 0, @VolumeSerial, MaxCompLen, FileSysFlags, nil, 0); Size := MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1; GetComputerName(ComputerName, Size); Result := Format('%d-%s', [VolumeSerial, string(ComputerName)]); end; ⚠️ Note: For production, combine multiple identifiers (MAC address, processor ID) to avoid false positives. On your server (or within an admin tool), encrypt the machine ID along with expiration date and features. Use System.NetEncoding and a strong cipher (e.g., Delphi's TCipher_AES from System.Encryption ). Now then Exit
// Verify machine binding if MachineIDPart <> GetMachineID then Exit;
