Bernie,
If you did this by using a coded word and compairitave contact, be sure to switch the coded word location/address on the next machine you sell to this customer, or they'll be able to look it up with the LCD. Also if you use the calander they can change the the date with the LCD.
Actually, after carefully considering the legal, political, and technical ramifications, we dropped the idea alltogeather. In Michigan, if the machine is in anyway bolted to the ground it becomes a "fixture" or part of "real property", (a component of the real-estate). That allows the vendor/supplier to use the MI construction lien law to place a lien on the property, and eventually forclose on the entire property if necessary. That by it's self seems to be pretty effective. The only problem is that you cant lein goverment property. Check your local lein laws.
