HDDPhysic

HDDPhysic is a dynamic-link library (DLL) that operates as a stand-alone component for 32/64-bit Windows. The software is designed to extract the physical vendor information from the hard drive of a computer, including vital data such as the unique model number or serial number. It's an excellent approach for identifying application users by generating a serial number for the current computer running the system. HDDPhysic makes it possible to lock the application to the user's hard drive by checking the hard drive's serial number. The physical serial number is a unique number attributed to every hard drive device which can be found on the HDD labels by users with visual access to their hardware.

HDDPhysic is a self-sustaining software that does not depend on any other files to function correctly. It utilizes the drivers already existing on Win32/64 systems, making it free from any special library or driver requirement. It can work with any programming or scripting language that supports WINAPI calls, such as C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, VBA, C#, and others. Examples for different development tools provided for demonstration purposes.

It is not required to have administrator rights on Win NT, 2000, XP, 2003, VISTA, or 7 to use HDDPhysic. Furthermore, the software can detect where Windows is installed on which HDD through the GetPhysicInfo function.
