tried so many links on google, but nothing works.

I am looking for a way to track which PC has the DB on. So if the Co wants to install on another PC they must activate the new copy.

So far i am using the machine name, but on a re-install of windows, or if they decide to change network configuration information (Which they have done twice) , the details i am using can be changed.

I need some way to uniquely identify the MOBO of a machine.

WHat are you using? VB? I remember there is a way to query different hardware parts' serial number with Delphi. If you think this will help, I'll find it and maybe compile it to a DLL or COM interface for you to use with VB?
