You may try the hard disk serial number. You can use my DriveInformation class to extract this info (downloadable from the Files section, here on UT). This is "unique enough", but it will change if the user formats the drive.
Another unique number is the serial number of the network card, but I don't know how to get it (and not all computers have a network card :)).

>Is there any functions in VFP or Win API that can get a specific PC information which is unique to other PCs? Reason is I will like to write my own Copy-Protection codes so that when user installed in a PC, the EXE will check against what has been given by my user is right or wrong. In a way I can know the number of copies they have install, possible?
