How does that work out for you? This doesn't strike me as a good use of fingerprinting:

- Since you charge per person, what about people that use multiple machines and browsers (with presumably different fingerprints)? - On the other hand, unless two people share the same workstation and computer account, how do you expect to use fingerprints to detect license abuse?
