    Hi all, I am developing a vb.net app for a CE4.2 PC device. I'm looking for a method of licensing the software. I would like to use the MAC address and some cryptography to license the software to a given CEPC. (The CEPC we use has the network adapter built in to the main board so no danger of network cards being swapped out). Problem is, I cant find a way to get the MAC address from within the CompactFramework. I read about an IpHlpApi.dll function called GetAdaptersInfo but I have no idea how to P/Invoke or Marshal the Ref types in VB.net. Any suggestions or vb source code that would help??? Thanks -Chris :confused:

        Does your application control twin rovers on the mars, If not, why not just make it a freeware and provide it here? After all you have been using code from codeproject and other sites like it for free since long.
