How can i get an identifier about the computer id currently using ??
It should be an id calculated from the hardware present in the computer.

i want users to submit their computer id to me, and i generate a license
code, so the application can be used in that computer only.

Are you using the computer name as the ID?

That is in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName

Names can be changed though, so this may not be too secure.

No, I don't mean Computer Name. Computer name is not unique over computers.
People can change their name in their computers.

btw, computer name can be gotten from SystemInfomation class.
