.NET/C#: Fingerprinting a machine

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/05

For my link archive, thanks Alek Davis:

Just keep in mind that ID of the CPU is not always available.

By the way, what are you trying to accomplish? If you want to generate a unique key for a computer instance, check the Generating Unique Key (Finger Print) for a Computer for Licensing Purposes post by Sowkot Osman at Codeproject; it can give you some hints (also read comments).
