Hardware IDs are often referenced as installation codes, because the codes are only available after the installation of the

application on a machine. The hardware IDs are referenced with installation code numbers to prevent that the user knows the criteria which are used. The installation code numbers are itemized in brackets after the name of the hardware ID.

 

For protection of privacy, the hardware ID is always an 8 digit code. This is very important because some countries do not allow to transfer personal data like hostname. The hardware ID is additionally hashed with a project specific code to ensure, that each Multimedia Protector application creates different installation codes.

 

 

The following hardware IDs are supported:

 

Volume ID (1)

MAC Address of the network adapter (2)

Hostname (3)

NetBIOS Computer Name (4)

Volume ID and UNC Pathname (5)

MAC Address and UNC Pathname (6)

USB-Stick (11) 1)

 

1)

This feature is available only in the Multimedia Protector Premium Edition.

 

 

Installation codes which work only for single PC installations

Netbios Name

USB-Stick

 

 

 

For a server license only use an installation code combined with the UNC pathname.

 

If a hardware ID can not be retrieved (e.g. there is no network adapter) then the code is empty.
