Macintosh Identification<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>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.).</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
