Probably, MAC address...
But why do you need it?
Mac address is changeable in certain condition.
i need this for activation .
there is any hardware device which is unique for every pc.
Unique does not mean not changeable. :cool:
Hi,
I'm not the expert, but here's a suggestion.
If you need this only to register an installation of a software, why not generate a unique ID based on the MAC address & the current timestamp? This should make sure that for this installation instance the id is unique. I have to tell that people that know themselves in PC are able to change any two of these variables.
Let me know if this helped.

I know that my suggestion was not solving your problem but rather pointing out that there is well known software out there that limits itself to a certain amount of active installations. Of course I'm not aware of the specifications of your software so I'm not the one telling you what to do. How about generating a key (serial number) for a given user (who needs to register in order to obtain it) and you simply combine this serial number (encoded) with the MAC address? I suppose that's closer to what you want to do.
