USBPhysic (DLL Component) v1.0.0 Launched

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.

Why should I need the physical USB storage info ?

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.

demo

Requirements

- 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

HDDPhysic is a stand-alone component ( 32/64-bit Windows dynamic-link library – DLL ) that can be used to extract the physical vendor information from the computer hard disk drive (such as the unique serial number or model number).

Why should I need the physic al h

ard drive info

?

The physical hard disk serial number is a unique number per hard drive device.

If you want a way to identify

your application user by generating a serial number for the computer currently running, this is the best approach because you can actually lock your application to the user hard drive by checking the serial

number.

Please do note that 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 hard drive.

(You can find the actual physical serial number written on your hard drive, just have a look at the hdd labels if you can access your hardware).

HDDPhysic can also detect where windows is installed, on which hard drive (See GetPhysicInfo function) .
