    Considering [your earlier question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/15646314/150634) too, I think you're thinking too much about stopping people from doing things with your program. – Joseph Mansfield Mar 26 '13 at 21:38
  • Another example could be found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9546228/how-to-detect-the-original-mac-address-after-it-has-been-spoofed/9546552#9546552 – Steve Mar 26 '13 at 21:53
  • You should also consider buying a licensing solution. Some licensing solutions are free. Do searches like ".net licensing". One solution I'm considering is http://www.ssware.com/cryptolicensing/cryptolicensing_net.htm. Good luck.

You can get the Serial Number, Asset Tag, UUID, MAC address, and a myriad of other identifying information from WMI.

WMI Tables

The ComputerSystem table is one that is useful, as is the Win32_BIOS table. There is an OperatingSystem table as well.

  • How Asset Tag can be recieved? i dont see it on the win32 list – user1927244 Mar 26 '13 at 21:53
  • Asset tag (if I remember correctly) can be found in Win32_SystemEnclosure. Not nearly as reliable as other things, I just remember a partner at a previous company being very interested that the asset tag be returned. – Silas Mar 26 '13 at 22:18
