Hi Art,
I picked up an open source class for creating UUID's (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID) in RB (Can't remember where) which is cross platform.
Email me if you'd like a copy.

Subject: Unique Win Computer ID


All,

First, losing the List is really going to hurt me.

My question: Can anyone suggest a way or have a code snippet to obtain a (relatively) unique identification of a Windows machine? I have tried wading through msdn stuff but it is way over my head.

I am looking for some information that will remain relatively consistent and apply to the physical computer. One suggestion was to look at several environment variables and match at least two of them to those of the originally licensed machine.

My problem is that I could not find a list of the env variable names - and have never applied declares - and don't have any idea of the returned data structure. (Although, I believe I can master declares after obtaining Charles' book.)

Does the RB system.environment class access Windows machines? Would this be a good place to start?

Thanks,

Art
