Unfortunately, there are no such numbers available. Anything truely unique is typically controlled by hardware, and thus changes when the hardware changes, thus requiring re-registration. And anything uique generated in software requires persistent storage, which can be bypassed or altered after the fact. People have been trying to come up with reliable ways to handle this situation for a long time, and there are always means around whatever sceme is developed. Sorry. Gambit
