Network Card ID

[Eyup Gurel]

I will use the unique Network card ID to device bind my license file. How
can I obtain it? The GUIDGEN.exe and CoCreateGUID is doing this but how?Is
there an API?

I assume you are talking about the MAC address. If you are using NT
the command IPCONFIG /ALL will show the MAC address under the heading: Physical
Address.

try this code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <wincon.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

typedef struct _ASTAT_
{
ADAPTER_STATUS adapt;
NAME_BUFFER NameBuff [30];
}ASTAT, * PASTAT;

ASTAT Adapter;

void main (void)
{
NCB ncb;
UCHAR uRetCode;
char NetName[50];

memset( &ncb, 0, sizeof(ncb) );
ncb.ncb_command = NCBRESET;
ncb.ncb_lana_num = 0;

uRetCode = Netbios( &ncb );
printf( "The NCBRESET return code is: 0x%x \n", uRetCode );

memset( &ncb, 0, sizeof(ncb) );
ncb.ncb_command = NCBASTAT;
ncb.ncb_lana_num = 0;

strcpy( ncb.ncb_callname, "* " );
ncb.ncb_buffer = (char *) &Adapter;
ncb.ncb_length = sizeof(Adapter);

uRetCode = Netbios( &ncb );
printf( "The NCBASTAT return code is: 0x%x \n", uRetCode );
if ( uRetCode == 0 )
{
printf( "The Ethernet Number is: %02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x\n",
Adapter.adapt.adapter_address[0],
Adapter.adapt.adapter_address[1],
Adapter.adapt.adapter_address[2],
Adapter.adapt.adapter_address[3],
Adapter.adapt.adapter_address[4],
Adapter.adapt.adapter_address[5] );
}
}

Just go to Project->Settings then Link Tab and Add link to netapi32.dll

[question]

Hello,

Is this a file that I need to download from M$?

Because I have XPHome and it does not have this file.

Thanks.
