Great idea... now any idea on if there's an XCMD out there (or equivalent) to get the MAC address?

just get the Mac Address of the network card. It's unique for each hardware - model/manuf. regardless!
You could also generate a time base code coupled with that just to make sure it's never duplicate. I've heard of some duplicate ids in Mac addresses but it's one in a zillion.

THis is slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to uniquely identify a Mac? We're trying to set up a specific install that works on a set number of machines by getting a unique ID for the machine and using it to verify that the machine is "licensed". This doesn't have to specifically be through MetaCard (it could be AppleScript, XCMD, gestalt selector, etc.).
 
Thanks!
