Don't know about any installation ID on AIR. But, maybe you could assign a unique value on server side during install (a GUID exposed in a webservice?), store the value in a encrypted database locally, and use that value every time you run the app..

If anybody knows how to handle such kind of issue?.. I'm developing an AIR application, which will be installed from website. By some buisness reasons (related to licensing model), the customer wants to keep track on all copies of app installed. That is every time after launch the app should connect to my server and tell it which particular copy of app is being launched on this particular machine. The question is: is there a way to get some unique information from within AIR application that can tell the machine it is running on? There is no access to registry, but may be there is some kind of installation ID provided by AIR runtime itself?.. The bad thing, that I can't use any additional native code, only .air package, since, as I've already written, the application will be installed from site (without third-party installer) Thank you, Ilya
