Machine UUID (was Re: Creating a unique number / ID in Omnis Studio_

[Andrew Stolarz]

Doug / Mike

I asked this to Omnis back in 2017, they stated at that time. (I dont
recall what version of Omnis).

----

The id is formed from various pieces of information we attempt to get about
the hardware, and this typically includes

MACAddress
CDRomDriveInfo
DisplayAdapter
HardDriveInfo
IDEAdapter
RAMInfo
VolumeSerialNumber
ProcessorInfo
