Is there a way (as I am sure there must be) to pull some sort of unique
identifying information directly off a motherboard?
Such as the serial number of a processor? or of the motherboard itself? or
something similar?
I would want to return to be in the form of NSString.
And no, i have no real knoweldge of making hardware calls, so if someone
would be kind enough to give me some example code for this, i would really
appreciate it.
No there is no such call. The best you can hope for is an Ethernet
hardware address but that is not all that fool proof either. See
