Script Licencing

Post by benz.w »

Hello everybody,
I want to develop some classes to enable licensing for Photoshop scripts.
Currently I'm searching for posibilities to identify a single Computer. The best would be, to handle that from within Extendscript.
What I found until now is that we can pull such information out of Code: Select allapp.systemInformation, make a hash out of it and use it as system id.
But since Code: Select allapp.systemInformation contains a very broad set of information like installed plug-ins could result in frequent id-changes. Striping only a few relevant lines (e.g. ps-serialnumber) would be possible but would require to develop a explicit stripe pattern for each locale of PS, because the string provided by Code: Select allapp.systemInformation is localised too.
So... any ideas what else could be used from within a script to identify a single computer??

Cheers,
Wolf
