OT: locking software to one specific machine?

[Bob Sneidar]

I should also mention that if you swap hard drives in two Macbook Pros, the serial number of the machine will FOLLOW THE MACHINES! It's odd I know, but true nonetheless. And as previously mentioned, if you have a motherboard replaced, Apple will give you a refurbished one that has the serial number removed from the PRAM.
