i need to ensure that even if my executable C/C++ codes are copied to another raspberry Pi (dumping the SDcard), they will not run there.

what are the possible ways to do this.

Update:

adding "PI serial number" as a licence to run my code is a solution to prevent dumping and using my software on another PI, but i have also lots of installed/configured Linux services which run when Pi boots. is there any idea how to prevent them to run without licence?

One option would be to check the Ethernet MAC address, but this can be spoofed.

An alternative would be to use the serial number in /proc/cpuinfo such as in this Xojo thread.

Such efforts should prevent most of the casual copying. However, a determined programmer can defeat that as well. See Dimitry's answer on a different thread.
