locking a program to a certain computer



Hi guys,
آ 
I was wondering how it is possible to lock a specific program to a specific computer. I mean what are the special characteristics that differs a computerآ from another, and it identify that computer no matter what happened.
آ 
Actually, I am in a middle of programming project for a protection scheme. I want a something that is permanent in a computer, and differs from a computer to another to generate a special key from it to link programs to.
آ 
I was planning to use the hard disk serial number, but it will changed if the user formatted his hard disk, and then he will need a new licensing key.
آ 
I will appreciate if any ideas on better alternatives, for example using the bios serial number (How to get it?).

Best regards
