AES_Encrypt(String strToEncrypt, String secretkey)
AES_Decrypt(String strToDecrypt, String secretkey)

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?

Number allocated by the manufacturer to identify the physical media.

Example: WD-WM3493798728

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?

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

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

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

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..

It's working perfectly! Thank you!

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

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
