Generate encrypted key and later again generate the same

[jaigs_27]

I have created a script to install a software in newly kickstarted Machine. But I want to implement some kind of security check for making sure that software is being installed only on that newly kickstarted machine not in any other critical machine.


Some kind of key which I could generate and stored somewhere after the kickstart and again I should generate the same before software installation and then match the both????

Please help

I have done it but the way is not professional

If you got the job done, i dont see how it could have been unprofessional .... unless you did it in the nude ... while at work .... in a publicly viewable area.

Fully clothed, one can do the job "unprofessionally" by doing it in a quick-and-dirty way: badly commented, source badly formatted, ignoring error status from subsidiary actions, poor diagnostic messages (if any), poorly chosen variable names, and so on.
