Hi,

How can I get the serial number of a HDD or something is unique on a computer . I want to make a Java program that installs only on one computer.

Thanks

Although it won't help you identifying the unique sid of a computer, you might want to have a look at System.getProperty(). Check out this to see an overview of possible properties to fetch:

Perhaps you could use "user.name" or some combination of some properties.
