Hi

I'm making some basic cryptography software and I've run into a snag.

I'm trying to retrieve some sort of system number thats specific to
the system I'm working on.

It can't change over time.

Whether its a cpu id, memory id, system serial key, or anything else
is irrelevant.

Does anyone know how to access such a number through managed code?

Or even unmanaged code?

Managed code is strongly preferred.

thanks

You haven't told us anything *about* your system...

If you have an Ethernet, wired or wireless, adapter, you can get the
hardware (MAC), address and use that. It has to be globally unique.

That is definitely an option. I have an ethernet adapter on the
system. As well as bluetooth.
 
Again, telling us what device you're using will help us help you. THe MAC
address is available via the IPHLPAPI APIs, which would require P/Invoking.

Actually, I found a way to do it using OPENNETCF. Thanks!
