Hei,

In the old forum, i saw different difficult ways to protect software.

Get the software serial of a harddisk, dll,...for serials,

But,..

copy    :  wmic bios get serialnumber |clip

open notepad , paste and save as    serial.bat

copy the bat file to your program folder !

'get bios serialnumber
'20181220  Sver,   Winsum/Nederland

on error goto [end]
nomainwin
run "serial.bat", HIDE    'bat file
tell=0   'reset
'---------------------------------
[w]
if tell=4 then [end]     'max 8 sec
'--------
timer 2000, [w2]
wait
[w2]
timer 0
'--------
tell=tell+1
clip$=""
'-------------clipboard to string$
calldll #user32, "OpenClipboard",h as long, result as long
calldll #user32, "GetClipboardData",_CF_TEXT as long,_
txt as long
CallDll #user32, "CloseClipboard", r as boolean
'-----
clip$=trim$(winstring(txt))
clip$=lower$(clip$)
'-------
if instr(clip$,"serial")=0 then [w]
'-------
serial$=word$(clip$, 2)    'second word = biosserial
'---
notice serial$   'compare the serial with the serials in your program
[end]
end

Pretty cool. You could equally pipe the output | to a file name of your choice and later open and check the file contents.

Yes, or get all : (wmic computersystem get name && wmic bios get serialnumber && wmic os get Caption && wmic cpu get name && wmic cpu get numberofcores && wmic computersystem get model && wmic ComputerSystem get TotalPhysicalMemory && wmic computersystem get manufacturer && wmic logicaldisk get size,freespace,caption && wmic os get SerialNumber && wmic nic get MACAddress)|clip

or real harddisk serial

You might find, on some systems, that the manufacturer didn't actually input that information... strange, but it happens....
