Default Copyright protection

Hi guys,

I have an Access database that I am running and I want to prevent
people from using the database without my permission. How could I
protect it?

My one thought is to uniquely identify the machine that it is running
on and then use that identifier in conjuntion with the date/time to
produce a key that I will issue to the user. In order to do this I
need my code to lookup or identify some unique number on the
computer.....I dunno.......maybe the CPU production serial number(if
there is such a thing) or somethng similar.

Any ideas?


The network card has a unique ID.
