Securing Software (HWID)?

[GeordieBen]

Hi all,

I'm a begginer in vb.net and looking for a little help on solving this annoying problem.....

I have been trying to figure out a way to make a hardware id lock for my software in vb.net.

i would like to be able to use all hardware and not just the proccessor if thats possible, abit like how winlicense's hwid lock is.

here is what code i have atm

Code:

Public Shared Function gethwid() As String
        Return New System.Management.ManagementClass("win32_processor").GetInstances() _
            (0).properties("processorID").value.ToString()
    End Function

Also, if possible can i get a hwid that looks like this format '12345-1234-12345-12345' instead of the format 'BFEBFBFF000006FB'

Look forward to your reply's

Thanks
Geordie
