No, you can't. It's the same security issue. You can't do this with Flash either.

1/ You can't. MACs only travel in the local network.

2/ Javascript is a weird choice for license enforcements.

It is not a good strategy. What if a network card burns out and the client will have to replace it? These things happen.

It's not a good idea.

The MAC address can be changed programmatically.
