Hi all,

Can anybody tell me if the Serial Number found on an iPAQ under Asset
Viewer, is common to all brands of PPCs? In other words, does each PPC have
its own unique number. If each PPC does have a unique number then I wonder
if we access to it in CF or via the WinCE API in unmanaged code?

All Pocket PC 2002 and later devices are required to have a method of
retrieving their unique identifier. With the Pocket PC 2000 generation
devices there was no consistent way to retrieve a device ID and not all
devices exposed one. Neil's article here describes how to access the native
API function used to retrieve the identifier:-
