Lol, I justs posted our version of it. I like your phrase "seems not to
be working". Normally I would ask you to be more specific but I bet
you'll just tell me it's saying "a parameter is incorrect" :)

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.
