Sorry for the second post but I think I need to make this a little
clearer.
What I need is access to the serial number on the back of the mac NOT
any other serial number.
This is PURELY for asset management purposes and NOT any form of copy
protection.
I am aware that not all macs support hardware serial numbers.
Typing AppleSystemProfiler in the terminal is not an option this must
be achieved using some form
of C or objective-C code.
Typing ioreg in the terminal is also not an option.
Using the IORegistry explorer lists the "serial-number" property as
4b364100 00000000 00000000 00534730 33343252 58000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 000000
which is clearly not the serial number on the back of my machine. Is
this coded?
Basically I have a network daemon which needs to return certain machine
specific data, one of them
being the serial number (if available).
Thanks again for any help. I'm pretty desperate for this now and can't
seem to find anything on it.
