using System.Manageme nt;
//be sure to reference the System.Managmen t.dll
string GetSerialNumber (string drive)
{
ManagementObjec t disk=new
ManagementObjec t("win32_logica ldisk.deviceid= \"" + drive + ":\"");
return
disk.Properties["VolumeSerialNu mber"].Value.ToString ());
}
Also check out the other properties of some of the other WMI classes
(Win32_Physical Media or Win32_DiskDrive ), as you might find ID that isn't
related to the logical volume. Not all devices give an asset tag or Serial
number, but you can try. The volume serial is easily changed.

You told as volume serial is easily changed. It is probably true and also
very interesting and would like to know how?
Thanks,

Hi,
How do I get the serial number of the harddisk in .NET?
I want this to be the same number even if the user has
reformatted, so I do not want the volume serial number.
Thanx,

In order to protect software from being copied without licence, I would like
to use something like a key, which fits only to the current system. The
serial number of the CPU or the current operating system would be
appropriate. However, I do not know how to retrieve the information.
Could you help?

Hi there
I'm trying to find part serial numbers between 2 numbers. The user selects a
part number from a combo box and then enters a range of serial numbers into
2 text boxes and the resulting query should find every machine that has that
part number between the serial number range.
The problem is that the serial number stored is a text field and the results
are not what they should be.

software will be copied illegally and I don't want this happen.
Now I wonder if anyone could help me on how to create a lock or a
serial number for the software.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
