Would the HDD ID be acceptable. If so I can
post example code.

Subject: [DUG]: Unique Machine
ID....
G'Day All,
I know this one has been asked ad nauseum
but.....
I need to come up with a unique identifier for a machine. For
my purposes a NIC address would be sufficient. I am willing to wear the small
chance that two network cards would have the same NIC address. However the
concern I do have is for a computer that does not have a NIC but only a dial
up connection. Obviously then there is no NIC address? Can someone comment on
that? Also, if anyone has a relatively simple mechanism to obtain a unique ID
for each machine I would be much obliged.
