I need to run an equipment audit and to do that I need to obtain the Windows PC, monitor etc. serial numbers. So I faced with going to each PC and manually writing down the numbers. Is there a way I can get this programmatically so each user can run a small program and email me the results? ...
How do you protect your commercial application from being installed on multiple computers from people who only own one license? Do you think it's a good idea to have more than just a serial based scheme? ...
I'm working with a client that needs to generate millions of the alphanumeric codes used in magazine scratch-off cards, bottlecap prizes, and so on.

I am working on the Firmware for an embedded USB project. The production programmer I would like to use automatically writes the Serial Number into the device flash memory at a specified memory address. The programmer stores the serial number as Hex digits in a specified number of bytes. For example, if I tell it to store the serial numb...
I am about to implement a very basic licensing feature for my application. A serial number may be granted per-machine (or per-operating-system) or per-user (as for CAL in Windows Server: if my application is used by several users on one machine or if it is used by one user on several machines). For per-operating-system licensing, I use...

I've been writing some tools to interact with a USB Flash Drive (removable drive) for our portable application. We are going to be tying some relevant information directly to the flash drive via the serial number (device serial number, not the volume serial number which is formatting based) I am able to read the device serial number. Wh...
I am looking to implement a simple registration key system. There will be printed codes, and we'd like users to type their code into our system. This code will be used around the world, and we want to avoid any problems with confusing codes. We're already doing the following: using numbers and upper case letters leaving off 2 and Z,...
I am using WMI with C++ to get the physical disk serial number. On Windows 7 64bit, I get a string with the serial number. While when running the same application on a Windows XP 64bit machine I get a hexadecimal string with each char's values reversed. I have noticed 3 different behaviours so far: Windows 7 64bit String in correct ...
