I'm looking for recommendations on the best or most current way of uniquely identifying a system when registering with a server application.  To date I've found three pieces of data that might do the job:

1. Primary MAC Address 2. IOPlatformSerialNumber 3. IOPlatformUUID value

The MAC address and serial number are both well documented in the technical note TN1103.

I would follow the recommendations of TN1103. The MAC address blended with platform serial number (or just one of those) should cover your needs well enough. -Shawn _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
