Hi, my first question here

[NiravShah]

Hi to all ,
i need a c or c++ program that can be used to retrieve hard disk serial number, BIOS serial number or MAC address in order to identify a client machine.

I have tried very hard but not got any useful data.
Thanx in advance,
NiravShah

When you say client machine are you talking about a remote client being accessed from a server.
If not you can execute programs to run commands using the system function, e.g. to call ipconfig to get MAC addresses etc (ifconfig on UNIX machines)

    system("ipconfig/all > x");                                         /* call system */

you can then open the file x and read the information you require. There may be commands to determine the other information you require.
