Systems and methods for providing time- and weight-based flexibly tolerant hardware ID

摘要: Systems and methods for implementing a hardware ID with time- weight-based flexibility use (HWID) including identifying information about components. When software is run, current HWID generated. the compared to stored determine if two HWIDs match, time vector weight are used in comparison. A running matching score kept of matches. For each component, indicates given correct match hashed value component. example, component three there then total increased by three. may indicate an expiration period after which change be allowed. one year, year has passed since activation, even though component's verification does not information.
