Windows 10: How can I get a unique identifier in Windows?

Hello,I am currently developing a C# desktop application and I want to protect this program to run on only one device. I can already do this by linking the program to the hard disk serial number or processor serial number, but this causes a problem for me with clients, as the client can change the hard disk or processor at any time, which will stop the program. I need a fixed identifier that is unique and does not change manually or even if the hard disk or processor is changed.thank you

:)

 

Universal Unique Identifier (uuid) type is not supported

Hi Jimish,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are getting a message “Universal Unique Identifier (uuid) type is not supported” on the pc. I will try to help you with this issue.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

• 
  What is the make and model of the pc?
  
• 
  Have you installed all pending updates on the pc?
  
• 
  Have you logged in to the pc as admin?
  
• 
  Is the computer connected to a domain network?
  

Winlogon communicates with the Group Policy service (GPSVC) through an RPC call upon system startup for computer policy and with user logon for user policy. System Center Configuration Manager installs a Client-Side Extension (CSE) in the Windows image,
which is detected by the Group Policy service on first start. The Group policy service then isolates itself into a separate SVCHOST process (it is originally running in a shared process with other services). As RPC communications have already been established
before the service isolation, Winlogon can no longer contact the Group Policy service, and this results in the error message that is described in the Symptoms section.

On later restarts, GPSVC is appearing in a separate process from the beginning of the operating system session, and therefore the RPC runtime has no problem finding the correct server process instance.

Suggest you to refer to the reply provided by “Azaruddin Syed” from this thread to check if that helps.
