Is it possible to generate a unique ID based on server hardware/OS? I want to generate license keys for my PHP web app based on customer server, just like Atlassian JIRA does.
Thanks for your help.

You can try to read several
$_SERVER/$_ENVvariables and combine them to a string. After this md5 this string and you will have your license key.You have to be careful on which variables to choose if you do not want your customers to get a new license key everytime they update their servers. Also not all variables are available on all system configurations.
