In order to get the USB storage device serial number and other manufacturer information (NOT volume serial, only the unique one, the one that will not change after a format, physical one) using USBPhysic library and FoxPro you need to do the following 3 easy steps:
(1) Load USBPhysic library and declare the imported library functions:
Object: Form1 ; Procedure: Load ;
(2) Call the Init function to initialize the user computer USB storage devices and get their total count:
Object: Form1 ; Procedure: Show ;
(3) Now that you have the total USB devices count you can query for the manufacturer information passing the disk index to the GetUSBPhysicInfo function:
Objec: Command1 ; Procedure: Show ;
A complete Visual FoxPro 9.0 project is available for download in the resource area of the project here
USBPhysic is a stand-alone component ( 32/64-bit Windows dynamic-link library – DLL ) that can be used to extract the physical vendor information from almost any USB (Universal Serial Bus) storage device. With USBPhysic you can get the manufacturer serial number, manufacturer name and so on,
of the external portable Hard Drives, flash/pen/ key drive or any other kind of USB Storage Device.
As you know some of the physical information, actually only the serial number, is a unique number/string per device and this offers you a chance to programmatically identify the actual device.
Let’s say you want a way to lock your software to a USB storage device (a small flash pen), or distribute your software only with a USB stick, a fast and reliable way to do that is by generating a serial number based on that USB device serial (the hardware serial number that can not be changed, even after a full format). The physical serial number is not the same as the volume serial
number, it will not change after a format, and there is no way to change it unless you change the actual device.
- USBPhysic is a stand-alone component, does not require any other files to work.
- It uses the drivers on Win32/64 platforms so there are no special library/driver requirements.
- It can be used in any programming/scripting language that can make WINAPI calls like: Delphi, C++Builder, C#, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET, VBA, PowerBuilder, Visual Foxpro, Clarion and so on.
- USB device serial numbers are optional and it depends on the hardware manufacturer if
they are implemented or not.
- It requires administrator rights on VISTA/Windows 7 to successfully access the USB devices
