Hi,
I have developed a software.For licensing it i need to access a unique number of a computer like mother board id or processor id.
Is there a way to get this info.In C# we can use system.management to get this info.Is there anything similar to this in java.
If not How can i do this.

Thank you...

re: Getting Hardware information of a computer like processor id

Java doesn't have any such thing; you have to write a bit of C or C++ code that can do the job, wrap it in a bit of JNI (Java Native Interface) code so that your Java program can use the information.

kind regards,
