Component Licensing Question

Can OpenNETCF.WindowsCE.DeviceManagement.GetDeviceID() be spoofed?

I'm writing a component licensing class using the LicenseProvider class as a
base class.

My thoughts are to create a lic file contining the DeviceID and sign it with
the private key.

Are the holes in this approach?

Of course it can - pretty much anything can, especially in CE which really
has no real form of enforced security (pre 6.0 anyway). And depending on
the device, there's no guarantee for it to be unique. The question is, is
it worth your time to try to outwit the fraction of a percent of people who
know how to do this and who will bother doing it? Probably not. Using it
will probably cover 99.9% of the users out there (or more).
