MAC-address

I have looked through the dictionary, hoping to find a simple way to get a MAC-address for windows and mac computers. I can't find anything.
I want to link the app with a specific device.
About 7 years ago, I called a windows command that pumped out system data, then I parsed that to get what I needed.
Is there a better way?

Not sure about a better way.
http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/live ... vecode.htm has a great deal of info/tricks & tips, even if it is getting old, but probably should still be relevant.
Specifically the env001 section http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/live ... env001.htm has a MAC address extraction function. It still works for me on Windows 10 with LiveCode 9.0-dp5

I'm using the same tip on Mac and it works there too.
