An IP address is a 4-byte (32-bit) number, used to identify a computer. This is often configured into the computer; or the IP address of a computer is handed to the computer, at startup, by a DHCP server. It is not generally coded into hardware, although certain networking equipment might have, in hardware, a default address such as 192.168.0.1 (this is a private address). For the most part, the IP address is none of the options you specify - it is neither hardware, nor software; it is information used by the hardware and software.
No, McAfee virus protection is not hardware. Instead, it is a software program. Hardware is the physical parts of a computer, but software is computer code. So an antivirus program is software, not hardware.

So floppies, DVDs, CDs, and other storage media are hardware. Hardware are all the physical, tangible parts of a computer. Software is an invisible representation of ideas and code. So a CD is hardware, but a CD program is software.
I/O devices like Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Speakers are used to for the computer to communicate with the user. The Operating System uses software called drivers to interact with these hardware devices. Altogether, this is called the user interface.
To obtain a vendor code/serial number from the user.
The physical parts of a computer are all called hardware. That is opposed to ideas and invisible code called software that are encoded on a physical medium. Even a diskette or CD is technically considered hardware, while the data which is stored on it is software.

An app refers to an application, such as a software program. An Icon in computer terms is a visual representation of a software program/code or a shortcut to a software or hardware location. -KS-
Software is the code that a computer runs - you can not touch software, it is abstract. Hardware is what runs computer code - the physical stuff you can touch.
Software is the code that a computer runs - you can not touch software, it is abstract. Hardware is what runs computer code - the physical stuff you can touch.
website is a joint collaboration of hardware and software. it constitute of a code designed by a programmer and web pages designed by web designers ... whereas software is a program written by the programmer to perform a specific task.
Software can consist of a program or application. A software password is an encrypted code that protects the program or application from outside access.
Computer hardware is the physical computer part, accessory or component. Hardware refers to a thing. Software is the program that runs on the hardware. It is the code that tells the hardware what to do,not a physical thing you can touch.
A line of software code is called a line of source code... Come on now.Source lines of code (SLOC) is a software metric used to measure the size of a software program by counting the number of lines in the text of the program's source code. SLOC is typically used to predict the amount of effort that will be required to develop a program, as well as to estimate programming productivity or effort once the software is produced.see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_lines_of_code
Program are used to refer to either an executable program (by both lay people and computer programmes) or the collection of sources code from which an executable program is create(eg.complied).Program may be executed directly by hardware(eg.CPU)such programs consist of a sequences of instruction.It alsa executer by software. Software is a general term used to describe a collection of computer program,procedures and documentation that perform some task on a computer system.Beside that,which encompassed the physical interconnection and device required to store and execute or run the software.
Commercial software offers registration codes when you buy the program.
