Is it possible..


Is it possible to get the product ID of windows os so that my application shall not run on pirated copies of the windows os.Something like the windowsxpservice pack 2
Because i believe that a guy who is not paying for an os will also not pay for my application.
(which i guess will be registered online..but long way till thenBig Smile)

With the new MY namespace under Whidbey its real easy to extract these out of the registry

Heres the two examples
My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion", "ProductID", "")

My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion").GetValue("ProductID", "")
