KOMPAKTIDENTIFIZIERUNG VON HARDWARE ZUR VERBINDUNG DER SOFTWARE MIT EINEM TOLERANTESÄNERUNGEN COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

Systems and methods for generating a compact hardware identification (CHWID) for a given computer system are disclosed. The compact hardware identification (CHWID) may be used to control the use of software on the given computer system depending on the degree of hardware changes to the computer system. The compact hardware identification (CHWID) may be electronically transmitted over limited bandwidth media, such as a telephone.
