I don't know anything about Windows. Is there some way within Real Basic to
query the OS for a unique number of the disk or processor?
No, there's no framework call to get a unique number, and there's really
no good way to get a number that will not change unless you require the
users to have a hardware dongle. You can change serial numbers or MAC
addresses for hardware...
You can (at least on Windows) get the serial number with declares. As
for MAC addresses, you can get those from the NetworkInterface class --
but keep in mind that not everyone has a NIC card installed, and you can
manually change the MAC address of a card, so it's not a good thing to
guarantee uniqueness with.
HTH!
