Palm OS Serial Number
Hy all. I need to develop a way to identify uniquely all palms that are in use im my company. I tried to get the Rom Serial Number, but it is not present on Palm M100 Series (M100, M130, M150 (Zire), ... etc...) Does anybody have any idea that i can use to make the palm uniquely identified, without need to write the SN on a database, that can be changed and deleted. Thanks!

DNA samples from the skin cells trapped under the keys? The only thing you can change on a m100/m105/m150 is what's in RAM. There's nothing unique on those devices. The only solution is to not let your application run on a device without a unique identifier. Anything else if malleable. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Re: Palm OS Serial Number
Thanks Aaron. Ok. This is the thing that a want... When the users change the device, your registration should be replaced... Do have any example that i can use to get the device/HAL id's or CPU id's?
