Hard Drive Serial Numbers

[david.silmanBUSrUeQ]

Hi all

I need to be able to get the serial number of the system hard drive, I can do this on windows using:

Code: Select all

put $SYSTEMDRIVE into tStrFieldData
put shell("vol "&tStrFieldData) into tStrFieldData
put line 2 of tStrFieldData into tStrFieldData
put word (wordOffset("is",tStrFieldData)+1) to -1 of tStrFieldData into tStrFieldData

however, I don't know of a way to do this for mac, can anyone help me?
(also, not really needed, but if it's known, iPad and Android tablet too?)

Many thanks
David

Hi David,

maybe this is of interest for you?
Not exactly what you were asking for, but worth a look

Thanks Klaus

Not quite what I was after originally (like you said) but we've decided to use the MAC address anyway

Cheers

And how did you get the mac address?
Other users might like to know.

Hi user#606

Sorry, but in the end I only found a way to get the mac address of windows/mac/linux

Although, there was an external for getting the mac address of iOS, see my other post here:

Also from that, still no one-for-all solution so there was this post:

Hope this helps

Hello David,

Use the "shell" command to get a drive number on Mac Os.

If you want the full information about system and materiel:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "" into resum
   set cursor to busy
   put "put shell (" & quote & "system_profiler" & quote & ") into resum" into lacomm
   do lacomm
   put resum into fld "resum"
end mouseUp

If you just want a part of the information :

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "" into resum
   set cursor to busy
   put "put shell (" & quote & "system_profiler SPSerialATADataType" & quote & ") into resum" into lacomm
   do lacomm
   put resum into fld "resum"
end mouseUp

You will obtain this kind of poem :
