Leaders quwiltw Posted July 15, 2003 Leaders Posted July 15, 2003 Are you asking about the volume serial number of the disk? I'm not sure what you mean by Serial Number. Quote --tim

*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted July 16, 2003 *Gurus* Posted July 16, 2003 You shouldn't be using an OS "serial number" for security. OS changes are made all the time, and that would invalidate your security and aggravate your user. Period. Instead, use hardware-based identifiers, such as a network card's MAC address and/or a hard drive's serial number. Quote Posting Guidelines
