How to get the motherboard serial number?

Hi
i am writting an application which will encrypt the motherboards serialnumber and other info to do an activation of my application.
inevitably locking my program to a specific PC.
Does anyone know how i can get the motherboards serial number?
I tried the wmi but get so many errors like missing prototype and not declared.
I dont know when to start using the Windows Management Instrumentation with regards to Lab windows/CVI.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Shako
Help share your knowlegde

I made up a small example that shows how to use WMI in CVI.
Unfortunately, I tested it on two systems (Win XP and Win7) and the serial number that can be retrieved in System Enclosure (that should be the S/N assigned by the PC producer) is always blank.
I will try to locate additional infos on this matter, in the meanwhile you may want to experiment with the example and search for other available infos (like for example OS or disk s/n) to create your own security system.
The example can be found here.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • How to get the iphone serial number  in application?

    hello,  everyone
       i  really want to konw how to get the iphone serial number in aplication ?  As it's different from uniqueIdentifier ....
    thank you

    Michele is correct - sneep will help you get the serial from the running domain on the M3000 ,
    and it is a good idea to install STB on your machines.
    If that isn't possible for you, then sneep can be downloaded directly from [http://www.sun.com/sneep]
    I believe that on this platform, sneep gets the serial from the output of prtconf.
    There is a minor correction to be made :
    After installed SNEEP use "man sneep" for all technical details.The sneep man page is not linked into the shared man pages, so you need to use
    man -M /opt/SUNWsneep/man sneep
    with out going to OK prompt (Banner)It is worth noting that the serial shown in the OBP banner is not the product serial
    that you will find on the physical serial tag.
    The banner "serial" is the decimal equivalent of the host ID, which you normally get in hexadecimal from the "hostid" command.

  • How to get the right Serial Number during Pick Release

    Please we need your help to get the right serial number => Auto-Allocate on YES, Pick Confirm with NO.
        A problem is occurring during the Pick Release process.  Custom code has been added to the hook INV_DETAIL_SERIAL_PUB to provide the Pick Release process with the serial number to pick for the item being pick released.  The hook works and the Pick Release process picks the correct (specified) serial number.  However, at some point later in the Pick Release process the lot number is chosen and the process seems to pick the first lot number it finds available for the item – it does not take into account the serial number provided by the hook.  This causes the Pick Release process to fail when the lot number chosen is not the lot number linked to the serial number.  Has anyone else encountered this same issue?
        An example:
    Item ABC123
    Serial SER001 – Lot LOT001
    Serial SER002 – Lot LOT002
    Serial SER003 – Lot LOT003
    Item ABC123 is being pick released.
    The customised hook provides the Pick Release process with serial SER002.
    The Pick Release process correctly uses SER002, but chooses lot LOT001.
    thanks!
    Francisco

    Hi,
    I guess you have added the code at slightly different place.
    Pick Release Process will always allocate lots based on Inventory Picking Rule (or WMS Pick Strategy if you are using WMS).
    So if you want to override that you much first delete the MTLT record (inv_trx_util_pub.delete_lot_ser_trx), then insert MTLT with your Lot number (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_lot_trx)..then insert MSNT (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_ser_trx) with your serial number.
    Ensure that transaction_temp_id on MSNT should match with SERIAL_TRANSACTION_TEMP_ID on MTLT table.
    Thanks,

    I guess there is no way to do this...

  • How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid

    How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid.  When I tried to type this in for registration, it does register as this numbers also contain letters in it.  Apparently the registration boxes accept numbers only.  What do I do with a useless product for which I have paid good money for it?????

    This is the simple solution which was offered to me when I tried to get the serial code on line.
    The box and disc sleeve do not contain a series with 24 numbers which I presume is the product code to install.
    I tried to redeem the registration code by following what they recommended, but inevitably it gets to the page that showed the registration boxes that need 24 serial numbers and I got stuck again.
    This product is so different what my previous experiences of other software products where I just enter the serial number straight from the disc sleeve and then I got registered and go on to use the software.
    I is really frustrating, spending the last two hours trying to get my product going....

    Thank you

    I'm glad that you found the site useful.
    The closest thing to a complete list of properties that's available is in the MHP spec in section 11.3.1.1, part g (yes, they couln't have hidden it much better)
    The properties that must be supported by an MHP receiver are:
    - file.separator
    - path.separator
    - line.separator
    - dvb.returnchannel.timeout
    - dvb.persistent.root (only available if the application has permission to access the persistent filesystem)
    There are a couple of extra properties that you can get from the Xlet Context using getXletProperty():
    - dvb.org.id
    - dvb.app.id
    - dvb.caller.parameters
    dvb.org.id and dvb.app.id give you the organisation ID and application ID for that application, as indicated in the application signalling. dvb.caller.parameters gives you the arguments that were passed to the Xlet if it was started by another app using the application listing and launching API - if it was started in the normal way then this is empty. A few more details about these is given in part 11.7.1.1 of the MHP spec.
    This information should make it up on to my website sometime soon - I'm busy working on some OCAP tutorials at the moment, but once those are done I plan to revisit some of the MHP stuff and update/expand it.
    Hope this helps,
    Steve.

  • How to get the current month number

    Hi everyone,
    Does anybody know how to get the current month number in Oracle Discoverer Worksheet calculation?
    I try to use EUL_DATE_TRUNC(CURRENT_DATE, 'MM'), but instead I got 01-AUG-00.
    If I change the data display format to MM, it will give me "08" but if I use TO_NUMBER function to convert it to number I get error "invalid number"
    Is there anyway to get the current month value in number? Thanks

    Scott,
    Thank you so much! It works perfectly! :)
    Hope you have a great day ahead!
    Cheers,

    What “draining issue”?
    The iPhone 5 has a battery replacement program but it does not include the 5S.

    where do I get the new serial number?  Instructions say it was provided with the download for CS2.  I don't see it anywhere.

    If the serial numbers were prominently listed, I wouldn't be in here asking questions.  The instructions said the serial number would be emailed to me or show up in my account.  I got neither one.  I tried the one off the original CS2 Premium CD box,
    but it didn't accept that one either.  So where is this number so prominently displayed?

  • Back.  How do put the new serial number on my itunes?

    My ipod nano was recalled and chances are I will not get my original one back.  How do I put the new serial number on my itunes so my computer will recognize the new (refurbished) one?

    I'm not sure that you need to. iTunes will read the serial number from the new iPod when you hook it up. If you aren't talking about the iPod serial number, but instead talking about the iTunes user ID and password, keep using what you have.
