copy protection

Or on multi-user machines. I have seen such a bookkeeping program. We swapped
CPU's a few times (I'm talking about mini's here, with proprietary CPU's), and we had
to call to software company. A small program encoded the configuration in a key, and upon
delivery of that key, we got a new code to make the program run again.

Well, given that he's talking about *porting* their app, I would say that
their entire client base would be that stupid.  Licensing code to a
particular machine is actually quite common, especially for expensive
software.  Using the network adapter ID or other unique identifiers is no
big deal.  I'm sure that if they need to move to another machine, it is
probably just a phone call or an email to get a new key.
