Be careful with the one from code project as I am not 100% sure it works on all operating systems, esp. vista

I have this unit already, but i'm not sure it works fine on every sytem. You sure about this? Does work on any H.D.D (Sata, IDE,..) or any OS? And what about laptops?

By the way, when i click for disk serial in windows xp (as it said) it returns null, and for motherboard just returns model, no serial!!

Sorry, Armin, but we haven't extensively tested it on different platforms. It's one of many checks we use to determine if a user has moved his software to another computer after licensing.
