To get the MAC address(es), you can use this routine I wrote :-

AnsiString mjgetnicinfo()
{
  IP_ADAPTER_INFO AdapterInfo[16];
  AnsiString retv=""; unsigned int ii;
  DWORD dwBufLen,dwStatus;
  dwBufLen=sizeof(AdapterInfo);
  dwStatus=GetAdaptersInfo(AdapterInfo,&dwBufLen);
  if (dwStatus!=ERROR_SUCCESS) return "**Could not Obtain NIC Info";
  PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pAdapterInfo=AdapterInfo;
  do
  {
    retv+="Name :"+AnsiString(pAdapterInfo->AdapterName)+
      "\r\nDescription :"+AnsiString(pAdapterInfo->Description)+"\r\nMAC :";
    for (ii=0;ii<pAdapterInfo->AddressLength;++ii)
      retv+=IntToHex(pAdapterInfo->Address[ii],2)+" ";
    retv+="\r\n"; pAdapterInfo=pAdapterInfo->Next;
  }
  while (pAdapterInfo);
  return retv;
}

HTH,

| TBH if you want a unique number I would go with either the CPU serial
| number or the network MAC address. Both are probably easier to obtain
| and change less frequently.
