Yes, yes I think, yes if the machine is connected, nothing will uniquely
identify the computer. What do you mean "the computer"? The hard disk? The
motherboard? The plastic housing?

Dongles.

Any and all suggestions welcome.
That's an old question and my input might be outdated. The only solution I
know is, third-parties hardware such as dongles.
Second choice is, Ethernet card number, which is unique. Only works with
Ethernet-able machines. You will identify the Ethernet card, not the
machine! Finally, the Ethernet card number can be overriden.
