And is it possible to get name of company and model of them?

  • What do you mean by "Serial Number"? – Paul Turner Apr 15 '12 at 19:53
  • Your best bet is to use WMI which I don't think has that information for _all_ of the computer's hardware (e.g. a generic PS/2 keyboard and mouse typically won't share that information with their host). – M.Babcock Apr 15 '12 at 19:57

  • @HenkHolterman - Is it really a dupe? Sure they _could_ have similar answers though this one actually defines a (albeit thin) level of requirements and the other is (for all intents and purposes) about limiting an application to run on a single PC. – M.Babcock Apr 15 '12 at 20:03
  • @M.Babcock - right, it isn't a very close dupe. – H H Apr 15 '12 at 20:06
  • @HenkHolterman - (I liked your previous comment better) Won't flagging the wrong duplicate cause the "dupe consolidation mechanism" to merge invalid answers? – M.Babcock Apr 15 '12 at 20:08

This thread in MSDN is what you looking for.

for example:

string processor = RunQuery("Processor", "ProcessorId");
