Windows UID

[tony]

I would like to find a way to get a PC uid. It's a for a serial number protection scheme. I would like to get a unique serial number for every PC.

Thanks,
Tony

Hi, A few days ago Tim Olso releases here a small dll that let you have this unique number.
I can't remember the url to the file but if you use the search you should be able to find it.

Code: Select all

DiskInfo Library - Version 1.0
Created by Tim Olson - 2003

I think there should be some place here or in PB site where every one could put there the tools released for PB.

Maybe a sticky message in the forum where everyone could add his new released tool.

A dll is faster hacked than you can reboot your system. Simple write a new one, returning always the same "UID".
When there are no more build in security mechanisms (i.e. it is as easy as calling the function) this is a very weak protection.
