Vb6 Get Serial Number
In VB6 I did use this code and get the serial number of Driver C: But now I am traslating the application to VB 2008 and I don't know how i do it?

I have to write a Visual Basic 6.0 Program and need to uniquely identify a
computer in a network and the user mustn't be able to change that id while my
program is running. So the Volume Serial Number of the HDD isn't a possibility,
because you can set the Volume SN whatever you want and therefore it's not
unique in a Network. I heard that there's a manufacturer's Serial Number on the
HDD that can't be changed and that is unique (worldwide?). How can I get that SN
with VB6? Or do you have any other ideas? Like a BIOS SN?
Thanks a lot in advance,

PS: Answer in German is ok.
I am writing an application in Visual Basic that pulls basic information about the computer and outputs the data onto a form. Currently, I am trying to pull the serial number for the machine I would be using. For example, pulling a serial number of a laptop from the BIOS. I have looked around the internet and haven't really found how to do this in Visual Basic without using WMI or C. Is there a way to do this in Visual Basic?

This will work for you just great! First add reference to System.Management and then make sure to import it at the top of your class as well. I did this on a form load event, but you can put it anywhere..
You can declare a string first if you would like and then set it to: info('serialnumber').ToString and the set that to you txtSerial.Text = your declared string
Here is what I get..
This is VBScript but should be pastable into VB6.

From a command prompt (but I don't think home editions get the console program wmic)
or

I found a way to get to this a bit backwards in VBA, using the FileSystemObject. You will need to set a reference to the Windows Scripting Runtime.
This does not account for multiple physical drives, which wasn't a problem in my environment.
