That was my first thought, but we have a requirement that the value
persist
across installs, and I don't like leaving a preference file behind on
uninstalls. So, using one or more of these values seems to be the
best
solutions. I'm just trying to find out if Apple is moving away from
Mac
addresses for this purpose. With no real documentation on the
IOPlatformUUID value I think I will use a combination of the Mac
address and
serial number a unique ID string. I may factor in the
IOPlatformUUID value
if for some reason the serial number is missing.
Hello Tom,
It still isn't clear wether you are interested in tracking a very
precise piece of hardware or a very precise registration against a
server (whatever it is, since you didn't tell anything about it).
Unless I'm wrong, these could be very different things. Could you
elaborate?
TIA,
Axel _______________________________________________
