Unique Macintosh Identification

[MisterX]

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!
