obtain unique ID for a smartphone

[Juan]

hello:

How can I obtain an unique identifier for my smartphone?

I'm using c# and the external function "KernelIoControl" in pocket pc, but
in smartphone it does'nt work.

Thanks.

On Smartphone that is a function which requires your app to be signed with a
privileged certificate. If you are using Windows Mobile v5.0 you can use
GetDeviceUniqueID. See the recent thread " Get GUID or IMEI" in the
smartphone developer newsgroup.

Ups, there is a trouble then, because I'm using Smartphone 2003 SE. I need
an unique number, and the only two I found were unique ID and IMEI, but they
need a priviledged application (signed) to work, so.....what can i do?

Thanks Peter

Unfortunately that's the problem prior to WM5.0, you'll have to have your
app signed.
