Gabe,

But surely that would mean launching the system profiler each time I want to check for the HD serial No? I'd like to check for some unique machine number everytime the script is run (or at least once a week) without the user knowing about it.

Thanks

Chris

you can script apple system profiler to get machine specific information.

Hi All,

I need to incorporate into an existing script a sneaky way of
preventing users copying a script onto another computer. Compare a
constant with a machine variable and exit if they don't match is my
best idea. Startup disk name is too simple, returning comments of say
the startup disk is quite easy to break, what about accessing the
harddisk serial number/ethernet address? Has anybody got any ideas on
this.

Thanks for your help

Chris
