This is not possible. Our software goes into Hotels and the like. It can physically be accessed by anyone. Usually our main competitor also has access as we sell similar products to the same customer.

So - physical security is not possible.

I see no point at all in putting in users/passwords. All someone has to do is to copy one of our databases onto a flash disk, and then put it on their server. Full access!! We currently do that ourselves with our competitor's product. Not for any sinister purpose, but to support them.
