    Unique HardwareID

    Hi,

    I need to identify a computer in a unique way. Is there any possibility to do this?
    I've found that only the MAC address is unique... really no alternatives??

    Can anyone point me to source code in C or C++ that gets from the system:

    BIOS ID
    HardDisk ID
    Volume ID
    Motherboard ID
    CPU ID

    Thanks!

    Try using dmidecode command. It dumps all the information of your hardware.

    dmidecode

    HTH.

    Thanks,
    Sachin
