Ah -- one more ...

I have Pro Tools and their higher end software requires a dongle (USB key).

Mark of the Unicorn used to include a floppy disk - which would include exactly one install. If you moved your software or wanted to reinstall, you had to UNAUTHORIZE your hard drive back to the floppy, reinstall, and then AUTHORIZE the hard drive.

I assume that floppy was a "special" floppy in that, you couldn't just make copies of it and create your own unlimited AUTHORIZATIONS ... but I never knew what they did to AUTHORIZE the hard disk.

Can you write to a SECRET section?

Or again, is this all "security by obscurity" and they simply hid some mark someone on the disk. How could they guarantee that no one would write over it?

Many thanks for any suggestions -- last part of an prototype project - and I'm not sure how whether to secure it with a home grown approach? or if there were some accepted industry practices.

Thanks Again,

-Luther
