Zusammenfassung:A method of binding a software to a device is disclosed. Accordingly, during a setup of the software in the device, a unique identifier is derived from contents stored in the device and the derived unique identifier is encrypted. The derived unique identifier is then stored in a configuration of the software. During a next invocation of the software in the device, a new unique identifier is derived from the contents stored in the device. The newly derived unique identifier is then matched with the stored unique identifier. The execution of the software is terminated if the matching fails.
