    The information you need can be accessed by Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). .NET offers ways to work with WMI. Take a look at this article[^].

      things like HDD serial number, processor serial number, etc. I’ve almost forgotten… it must work on Win 98 as well :doh:

        Mmh, I'm pretty sure there is no easy way to get this with managed code. Sorry, maybe someone else can help!

              In some way I was, but I already corrected myself and I pointed him to WMI. And that's exactly what the article uses, you want him to read. Of course on condition that I found the right article as you provided no link.

                Yes, it is the only one , and it uses WMI. I think this is the only way to do this with managed code.

                      The problem with WMI is that i don't think it could be correctly installed by the setup program for all Windows OS.:(
