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.
