I'm trying to make some copy protection... However, I want to get the motherboard serial number (not the make or model as some code here gives). I want to link that with the email as salt and encrypt it. I run a mac with parallels running windows 7. This should get both version outputting the same serial number - the hardware serial of the moetherboard. Why do I need this? I want to make sure that the online activation recognizes the machine even if they've swapped hard-drives, added hardware of done a complete re-install. Anybody got some code for this?
