Just a note, users can turn off access to the processor serial numbers.
All of our machines have that feature turned off.

If you are trying to identify a computer uniquely grab the NIC cards MAC address and then combine that with the hard drive serial number.

For storage usa a MD-5 or SHA-1 Hash of the obtained data. For privacy purposes and security.
