serial-number

I have an application that creates a serial key as follows: Take customername Sign customername using privatekey and sha/dsa algorithm Then license can be checked by decoding with public key, and checking cuastomername matches This works okay except that the generated serial is rather long. So it is not really practical for customer to type in the serial key instead they have to provide a serial with in a file, which is rather different to how mist applications and work and is confusing. Many other applications just provide the user with a Guid when they make a purchase i.e 5bd1060b-8608-4817

I need to get the hardware serial code of Android device where my app is installed. This hardware serial number is the one that you can see on Settings > About Device > Status > Serial number . I though I would get it using Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID or android.os.Build.SERIAL , but neither of them worked, meaning that they didn't give me unique identifier I'm looking for. For instance android.os.Build.SERIAL got me the unique ID shown on ADB when you run the command adb devices . Notice that the goal of this question is not to find another unique identifier that could help me, it's only about

I am using Hard disk ID for my software to check if the authentic user is using the software. For IDE type hard disk i get the id using the procedure GetIdeSerialNumber. but in case of SATA drives it gives the id as blank. Then in case of SATA drives i am using volume id as unique id. but volume id will change when system is formatted Now I want to know which hard drive i am using ,and how to get the hard disk id of SATA drive in delphi 7 ? EDIT: the software according to client specifications needs to be locked to the hardware, the ID's concerned are MAC address HD id (SATA or IDE) Controller

I have written three different methods that make use of native CreateFile and DeviceIoControl calls in order to retrieve the HDD Serial Number (not the Model Number). The first one uses S.M.A.R.T. , the second one uses Storage Query and the third one uses SCSI PassThrough . Most of my code is based on the content of this thread (with some fixes and improvements). Here are the results I get using diskid32 utility : Trying to read the drive IDs using physical access with admin rights Drive Model Number________________: [ST975XXXXX] Drive Serial Number_______________: [ 6WS2XXXX] Trying to read

I was wondering how to get the unique id of a USB storage device. I already know how to fetch the SCSI serial id from this post : USB-drive serial number under linux C++ The post mentions using the Device Descriptor to get the ID. Can someone post some code to determine the Device Descriptor information under Linux? ls -l /dev/disk/by-id I do it with HAL in C++ / C by using QT. Found some blog about it: How to detect if /dev/* is a USB device Would be also possible to do it by using shell & HAL. I suggest to use libusb .
