Hi Cetin,

While back I had this bin file and I also had fll, which got Disk Serial Number. I created two simple C programs + some algorithm in FoxPro to protect our software. All of that were in Russia. I brought ZIP disk with me, but recently I searched my apt. and could not find it :((

I'm afraid, all of these are gone. :(

>>In order to protect an application I thought to use the BIOS number, but somebody knows how to get this number in foxpro?
>>Thanks a lot!

>Not a direct answer to your question but a BIOS number cannot protect your application (might be if you use out to ports 70H, 71h in assembly but would be to cumbersome to test). Other BIOS info stored in specific portion of memory address (can't remember exactly but around 0:nnFF). A simple .bin could get it for you but it has nothing specific to a particular computer (more of a series nanufacturing info).
>A simple protection is using registry (thinking you can never stop a hacker but average user).

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
