    I need to get the serial number of a thumb drive that contains a specific file. Then, I need to make sure the serial number in the file is the same as the device's. Then, I need to check periodically that the device is still there, and that the serials still match. Anyone want to help me figure this out? Boss wants me to get this done yesterday.

      I think that is an unrealistic expectation.

              I go for the deadpan joke and it is the two follow ups the get the votes. Nice! :-D I suppose that type of joke doesn't work well on a forum.

                    My apologies for the begging. A desperate man will do most anything to accomplish his mission. It did, however, fuel a rather humorous exchange. How's this: I have seen most of what I am looking for out and about, but not everything I need. If there is an example out there somewhere of using a USB thumb drive for a software key, I would appreciate the pointer. Thanks.
