Get ID

Piece of code that shows you how to get the ID from your PC CPU, Drive, Network Card.
So you can then apply your own license algorithm.

Requirements

Net Framework 4.5
Built on Visual Studio 2015
Tested on Windows 10

Basic Explanation

To get the ID of the PC CPU.

You should have the class using System.Management;

private string getCPUID()
        {
            string cpuInfo = "";
            ManagementClass managClass = new ManagementClass("win32_processor");
            ManagementObjectCollection managCollec = managClass.GetInstances();

            foreach (ManagementObject managObj in managCollec)
            {
                if (cpuInfo == "")
                {
                    //Get only the first CPU's ID
                    cpuInfo = managObj.Properties["processorID"].Value.ToString();
                    break;
                }
            }

            return cpuInfo;
        }

You can get the same result via Command prompt: wmic cpu get ProcessorId

To get the Drive serial:

You should have the class using System.Management;
In this case you can get any serial from any drive example for unit C:
textbox1.text = getVolumeSerial("C");
Working code is:

private string getVolumeSerial(string drive)
        {
            ManagementObject disk = new ManagementObject(@"win32_logicaldisk.deviceid=""" + drive + @":""");
            disk.Get();

            string volumeSerial = disk["VolumeSerialNumber"].ToString();
            disk.Dispose();

            return volumeSerial;
        }

Combination: CPU + Drive

public string cpu_Drive()
        {
            string volumeSerial = getVolumeSerial("C");
            string cpuID = getCPUID();
            //Mix them up and remove some useless 0's
            return cpuID.Substring(13) + cpuID.Substring(1, 4) + volumeSerial + cpuID.Substring(4, 4);
        }
