win32.getRegistry() and unique machine ID

Postby robocod » Mon Oct 28, 2013 12:26 pm

I was trying to use the new win32.getRegistry() method.

I wanted to find a unique machine ID, which could be used for node-locked licenses, etc.

This code seems to do the job

Code: Select all
    local s = win32.getRegistry("HKLM SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Cryptography", "MachineGuid");
    if s then
        host:trace(s);
    end


Maybe there are better keys? Or is that one ok? Does it work on all versions of Windows? Not sure.

I can't get this to work... It always returns nil.

Perhaps it's a permissions issue? I've verified that the value exists...

Is anyone using this method successfully on Windows 10?
