I am looking for ways to protect software on an IBM PC.
Currently I am looking for connectors or so which I can plug 
into one of the output ports, and would return a (unique) id
when accessed, thus making it possible to identify a system.
I've seen protection by means of a connector in the past on a HP
micro.

Does someone know more about such devices? I am also interested in
other ways of protection software on an IBM PC.

Thanks!
