Now I know this question has been asked many times, but I cannot seem to
find a good site which summarises the methods possible in vb .net.
I am after a way of producing a unique serial number for my app. The program
would produce a unique identifier for the computer, then I would psovide the
user with a serial number unique to their machine.
In other words I would like to check for things like:
i) Hard disk (not volume) serial number
ii) CPU serial number
iii) Video card serial number (?)
(iv) Any other unique number I could use.
The program will be using vb. net 2003 (.net 1.1) and will only be run on
Windows 2000 and XP.
I realise there may be commercial solutions out there, but I am only a poor
programmer and would like to save money and do it myself.
If there is anywhere you can point me to in order to get started on this,
please, please reply to this post.
