Abstract
A method of limiting the use of software determines, before the software is executed on hardware, whether or not the hardware has a specific configuration inherent in a specific kind of hardware. If it is determined that the hardware has the specific configuration, then the method allows the software to be executed on that hardware. Otherwise, the method runs the software with a penalty incorporated therein such as to substantially be unusable. This allows the software to be correctly executed only by the specific kind of hardware.
