I am following this thread and I am concerned with the issue of uniquely
identifying a machine (see also my question 'looking for a method to
read 'production information').
I understand that not every machine has a serial number (the older
models don't, but this is not really an issue for me as I am more
focused to later models and this information would be valuable).
Nevertheless I am ready to switch to other methods and the Mac address
as somebody mentioned in the thread (I guess he was meaning the ethernet
address as method to identification), also seems to me a fairly good
method as all machines have one (at least all those supporting OS X).
Now, can someone show me an easy implementation (with code example) on
how to extract this information (or the serial number for the matter)?
Thank you,
Marco
