I've developed a cross platform sw that work on pc and ppc.

The licence manager works on the device id.
In windows mobile there is the beatyfull GetDeviceUniqueID, but I
can't find the equivalent function for the standard windows os.

I don't want to produce two binary, so I can use only code that I can
compile without error on both framework version.

My question is how can I determinate the deviceId in windows os?

Thanks

Typically it's done by getting the hard drive or processor serial number.

You can determine the OS at runtime by something like:

if(Environment.OSVersion.Platform == PlatformID.WinCE)
{
......
}

Some people use desktop's network card MAC address for ID hardware...,
or combination of other HW IDs...
