my CPU mac address is BFEBFBFF000006F 6
and my software name is : shefa
is there any function or encryption way in C# to generate a 24 digits (alpha
numeric) from both CPu MAC address and software name?

Plenty.
You could just concatenate the two and pad with something.
If you have more specific requirements then tell us.

There are lots of ways to do this, it depends on what kind of encryption you
need and how strong it should be. For starters (not that I'd necessarily
recommend this) you could pad the combined string with zeroes to reach 24
characters, and then do simple XOR replacement on each character to get a new
string. The advantage of this (although it is very easy to break "the code")
is that XOR is 2-way - if you pass the encrypted string into the same method,
you get back the original, and no key is required.

How secure does this need to be?
Does it need to be reversible?
Your options include some or all of: Base64 encoding, a cryptographic
hash function, a cryptographic cypher.
Given that most cryptographic functions work on 128 bit (16 byte)
blocks then the Base64 encoding of a block will give you 24
characters,thou gh it might contain "/" and will certainly contain "="
at the end.

There are lots of ways of doing this.
You can just take the MAC in hex and take 1 hex digit of MAX + random
byte + second hex digit of MAC + random digit etc..
Or you can come up with more complex schemes.
If it is a licensing scheme, then you should be aware that
..NET assemblies are easy to decompile and check how the serial
is obtained and checked.

Hello,
We are trying to figure out how to get a unique identifier for a machine.
Our application is a C# windows application that talks to our server via a
webservice. Every time our webservice is called, we want to verify that the
user has a valid license. For that we want to identify the user via his/her
machine. I tried using the following
