I've had software (Elliott Wave Analyzer) which is locked to the drive. I
needed a new password when a) disk drive crashed and I swapped in a new
drive, b) when I changed file system from FAT to NTFS, and c) when I
repartitioned drive. I provided the developer with some code used in his
system so we had a relationship of some trust. In each case, the software
would (at my request) gather the new drive config info and email it to the
developer who provided a new password during regular business hours. I
suspect that an organization which is more hard-nosed about security would
be more difficult to deal with. Also, I have to wonder if the new Diskkeeper
3.0 NT defragger which can completely reorg an NT drive during pre-boot
might break such a scheme.
