Software licensing

Hi All,

We are trying to implement some form of licensing in our product but
we are having a hard time getting the information we need.

First we wanted to use DEC's lmf but it seems no one in DEC can get us
the information about it. They'll sell use the Pak generation
software (which only runs on a VAX) but we can't seem to get any info
on the function calls and libraries used.

So we are going home grown for at least the time being. What we are
trying to find is some node specific information like CPU serial
number or something along those lines. The sysinfo call seemed to be
the ticket until the man page explained that SI_HW_SERIAL command has
not been implemented.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
