Thread: Hardware ID

Hello guys,

i had a question concerning Hardware ID.

I wanted to ask you guys how can I embed a hardware ID routine in my vb project? that means the app compares the ID in the program with the current id on the computer if the IDs match so the program can start if not the the app cant start. for instance there should be an error saying the id is wrong or something else...

I hope you guys can help me out.

thank you for your concern

Hard to use the search? It is there for a reason you know.

You give a program to your customers that generates the ID and saves it for you. Then you do a "unique version" for each one of the customers, which has that ID in a string (of course encrypted), and then generates the current computers hardware ID and compares it to the string.

Sadly this hardware ID sample is on ring3 but I don't know if VB is really capable for taking it ring0. That means it is easier to crack, but well, not so easy though.
If you really need it ring3 then I would go make a .dll or something in another language like C or Delphi and add it as resource. Then call it, you know, in the same way you would have called the function in the link above.

Have fun! =D
