Default How to Restrict my addin usage to one pc only

I have developed a addin successfully.
I need to restrict its usage on one pc only.
I am aware that I can not fully stop piracy but
still I like to have restrictions in the add in.

I am willing to hardcode data if required.
For every pc, i am ready to alter and put diff code if required.

Request you to pl provide me pointers for easy implementation.

Regards,
Madiya

There is now way if you are thinking about protecting vba addin.
Cracking VBA passwords does not take more than 5 minutes.

You can eventually code part of your solution as DLL and use something
PC unique to distinguish computers. Bios number usually works fine
however my computer's BIOS number is "to be filled by O.E.M".
