System Specific data that can be retrieved from the registry

[thanawala27]

Hi,

I have an package in C# which needs to be installed first.
During the installation, I would like the user to enter the password.
I would like this password to be based on a NUMBER. I will have an equation/technique to make the password based on this NUMBER.

What I'm looking for is, is there any such NUMBER that is system/computer specific which can be retrieved from the Registry and based on this retrieved NUMBER, the password can be generated using the equation/technique. (Equation/Technique is not the focus here)

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,

Ravi

So you are just looking for a PC specific number you can use?

• MAC address of the network card
• You could generate a GUID, which is based on unique features of the PC combined with time and date.
• Serial number of the CPU.
• License code of the Windows O.S.

I believe HD serial number is another commonly used one.
The GUID is probably a good choice though
