- Is there a way to write a C program to get unique system
- information on a PC? For example a serial number of the CPU.
-
- Alternatively I could build an identification code from the
- combination of some specs: bios version, CPU speed, amount of RAM,
- hard disk specs: Cyl, head, tracks, size ....
- How do I access these specs from a C program ?
-
- I want to use it to authenticate software installation.
-
- Any help appreciated.
- (Please mail and post if possible. Thanks)
