Get Unique Device ID for a PPC 2003 Device

[Guest]

Hi,
I am developing an Application for Windows CE.NET 4.2 Devices and PPC2002
Devices from LXE Manufacturer.
These are LXE MX5 Devices with integrated Scanners.

I used the code from the below path to get the Device ID.
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quicks...iceid/deviceid.src&file=cs\Deviceid.cs&font=3

But this code is returning the same Device ID for all the CE.Net Devices we
have.
Is there any way i can get some unique ID for these Devices.

Thanks in Advance,
Murthy

For those generations of devices, there was no requirement from Microsoft
that forced the device OEMs into making the Device ID unique for every
device. If your devices have network capabilities, you could use the MAC
address of the NIC as that should be unqiue to each device.
