Hoster is different from all our other program's security. It uses the unique ID code from your Ethernet Network card. If you don't have one in your computer, we offer a USB one that can plug in. Also, this can be moved to another computer, allowing you to run Hoster on more than one computer, but only run on the one where the USB card is connected to. The SERIAL NUMBER we generate based on the Ethernet ID code is absoutely unique and the tightest protection that is available across all computers.

We have not embedded the Serial Number into imported KMA files. We have seriously considered this, but it is so very trivial to remove this that it would be broken by even moder cracker/hackers within days. There are DRM (Digital Resource Managment) methods being derrived (including Microsoft) that we could support when this evolves. As it is right now, mosts folks understand that if you have 1 disc set, you can't legally run it on 2 computers at the same time. Thus, we have no restrictions and importing KMA files on one computer can be transferred to another. This is a VERY strong selling point to Hosting Companies who are buying 2 or more Hoster systems to run their multiple disc sets they already own. They only need to import the "common disc set" once, and then do a hard disk to hard disk copy to "instantly" set up the other computers.

One addition to George's point above. The Serial Number is used in installing Hoster, but... Hoster also verifies the Serial Number multiple times while Hoster is running. Thus, you can't simply copy an installed Hoster program to another computer.
