    Question Collecting PC details

    Hi again...

    How can I collect details regarding the hardware and software, of a PC ?
    As for registration process of the product (my app), I wish to collect the details of that PC and get it saved into my server.

    When the client request for a new serial key, because of formatting the PC and other reasons, I would compare the PC details and will issue a new serial key based on the result. (small changes in the PC will not be considered)

    Any ideas or tutorials or third-party components for collecting PC details ?

    Thanks...

    You would use WMI.

    Check out the WMI Code Creator listed there. You might also check out gigemboy's WMI submission in the VB.NET CodeBank.
