Faster HWID lookup

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm looking for a faster method then _WinAPI_UniqueHardwareID(BitOR($UHID_MB, $UHID_BIOS, $UHID_CPU)) 

Maybe something based on dll calls, not WMI nor the registry and with out needing descriptions in the returns which are out of the context for uniqueness
Simply a fast function to generate a hash which will be as much as possible Unique between machines

I don't feel like I'm capable to come up with something like this at the moment
for example this post : https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/120314-getting-system-cpu-info/?do=findComment&comment=836097

TIA

Don't use the $UHID_CPU variable and it's much faster. It won't make the ID returned that much more unique than without it.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

From this post  :mentioning not to use "SELECT *" ,is this a valid statement that can be used to change and speed up the function a bit ?

from powershell this one too, Isn't too fast :

get-wmiobject Win32_Processor | select Architecture,Family,Level,Manufacturer,Revision,Version,ProcessorType,MaxClockSpeed

That link doesn't give you the same information as the UniqueHardwareID does because it's only returning the ProcessorID, while _WinAPI_UniqueHardwareID returns with a lot more options.

The powershell option isn't going to be any faster as it is still querying WMI.

For now, If you are generating a key out of HWID then you would base it on specs that aren't easily changed and have a wider variety of specs per where you are acquiring them from,  so on different computers it will not be the same return, like If you are routining free trials, for a month, you then prevent re sending a key based on the HWID you have recorded the month before,  you also want to avoid a case where other computers are prevented from receiving the free trial  ..

hi there,

I wonder what other specs can be included, It so quick that it wont hurt to include a few more , but I think this Should be good for now

Here is a (1 minute) Oops test
If you do get an "Oops" MsgBox and can tell at what point the inconsistency occurs that will help 

Thanks

 What development tools do you have available to you? You know I’m going to suggest C-sharp or C++

When I finally converted I felt like Eddie izzard in that Darth Vader skit..... stuff it I’ll get a tray 🤣
