The problem I have with your approach is that you are trying to treat short
life hardware, which the PC is, the same way you would treat long life
hardware like the HP3000.
In a corporate setting it is quite common to play trickle down with new PC's
as they are ordered. The new PC's go to an existing employee and his PC is
used to upgrade someone else and so on. I do not see many large corporations
agreeing to a license that moves with the PC. It is hard enough to just make
sure you have enough licenses for the number of PC's you own without having
to try and tie a license to a particular PC or 3 PC's.
You are also assuming that every user will have an internet connection and
that the corporate firewall will allow your application to connect to the
licensing server.
Sorry, but I would have to pass on any software with restrictions like you
propose.
