A unique identification of the computer.

How would you do it without SetupBuilder? You can then try to convert this
"method". But you should use this kind of "protection" at application level
and NEVER at installation level!

You have several different options: CPU serial number (if available and
enabled), NIC address, built-in HD serial number (if availabe; but not the
volume serial number!), etc. Please note that all this is not bulletproof
at all!

I would suggest to use an application license protection system (e.g.
Armadillo) to handle this.
