How Use :

B4X:

    Dim pdd As jUUID

    Log(pdd.Get_CPUID )
    Log( pdd.Get_HddID1 )
    Log( pdd.Get_HddID2 )
    Log( pdd.Get_HddID3 )
    Log( pdd.Get_HddID4("C") )  //Hard drive letter
    Log ( pdd.Get_MachineID )
    Log ( pdd.Get_MachineID2 )
    Log ( pdd.Get_MacId )
    Log ( pdd.Get_MotherboardSN )
    Log( pdd.Get_HWID1 )  'hardware + software > can change with changing windows or user
    Log( pdd.Get_HWID2 )  'hardware + software > can change with changing windows or user

B4X:

'Hardware information
'Windows Only

    Dim p As jUUID
    Log("OS_Name : "&p.OS_Name)
    Log("OS_Version: "&p.OS_Version)
    Log("OS_Arch : "&p.OS_Arch)
    Log("OS_username : "&p.OS_UserName)
    Log("OS_SerialNumber : "&p.OS_SerialNumber)
    Log("MainBoard : "&p.Get_MotherBoardName)
    Log("CPU Name : "&p.Get_CPUName)
    Log("CPU Cores : "&p.Get_CPUCores)
    Log("Cpu LogicalProcessors : "&p.Get_CPULogicalProcessors)
    Log("Total PhysicalMemory : "&Round(p.Get_TotalPhysicalMemory/1024/1024)&" MB")
    Log("Free PhysicalMemory : "&Round(p.Get_AvailablePhysicalMemory/1024)&" MB")
    Log("GPU Name: "&p.Get_GpuName)
    Log("Bios Version : "&p.Get_BiosVersion)

Any function that has no result returns a null value
lib (jar and xml files) atteched.

...if it is Windows, you can do it alone... with just a "cmd" command...

this will return all serial numbers of drives... (ofcourse there is the old command, vol c:, vol d: )

B4X:

wmic diskdrive get serialnumber

Those are some weird numbers I've not seen before. What format is the serial number?! Is that an immutable ID?

Magma · May 19, 2022

Number allocated by the manufacturer to identify the physical media.

Example: WD-WM3493798728

Magma · May 19, 2022

You can even get the model... with this command:

B4X:

wmic diskdrive get model

or

wmic diskdrive get model,serialnumber

Wow! Is it a unique ID and immutable? It won't change with software updates (like, to the OS) or a reformat?

i think that not change... "not sure" ... but as search it is totally different from "vol"...

And I cannot tell or get information specifically for a particular drive letter (C, D, etc.). Do you know how to match the drive info from wmic with the drive letter?

Magma · May 19, 2022

a little different... not C: or D:... more physical... but if you search you find the way...

B4X:

wmic diskdrive get Name, SerialNumber

B4X:

wmic diskdrive get Name, SerialNumber

I've tried a couple of options (deviceid, serialnumber, systemname, etc...) but none of them return the drive letter that has been assigned to the drive. I will see what I can find searching the interwebs...

Magma · May 19, 2022

this return the logicaldisks - may be the row-series is the same... not checked... (also you can see the different serial number here)

B4X:

wmic logicaldisk get caption,description,drivetype,providername,volumename,volumeserialnumber

Magma · May 19, 2022

sorry... this can't be..right i said... because physical drives... can have... more than 1 partition with other names..... so.... can't think something for that... for now..

behnam_tr · May 19, 2022

B4XDev said:
Yes! Perfect.

One more thing... PCs can have multiple drives. Is there a way we can specify which drive we want to get the serial number of?

Like

B4X:

Sub Get_HddId(myDriveLetter As String) As String

B4X:

Log(Get_HddId("C")) 'or Log(Get_HddId("C:")) 'or Log(Get_HddId("C:\"))

One of those...

added !!
Log(Get_HddId4("C"))
download v2.2

thanks for code
i added to lib (v2.3)

B4X:

Dim l As List = p.Get_LocalHardisk_Info
    For i=1 To l.Size-1
        
        Log(l.Get(i))

    Next

I can't use the library in B4i, in the compilation it asks for jUUID.h

Nothing works for Linux, excepting Get_MacId, that are changed after reboot...
No any constant info about Linux really ?

What about this ?

may be somehow... getting serial number of hdd/ssd or motherboard...

hdd-ssd serial:

lsblk --nodeps -no name,serial

motherboard s/n needs a library (extra apt-get)

sudo dmidecode -t system | grep Serial

ps: Get_MacId changes after reboot ?... how ? do you change it by hand-edit... ???

i was debugging yesterday my API sending data from a Linux host to a server, APIkey is based on the HW info to identify the client.
But today API stopped to work, and i see the new MAC from Linux, just after host power up.
No manual actions.

I will try to add some methods related to Linux
If there is a method for Linux
