I've realized that you can limit the software to run on specific
computers
by limiting using the serial number of the machine. how secure is
it? can
someone crack the software by avoiding the "if statement" that does
the
check? How can I secure my checks.
Also see this tech note:

about trying to rely on the serial number. It talks a bit about some
of the other issues, too.
