Machine ID Format

[orange]

With getSystemId(), I am getting a ten digit number for my Windows machine in this format > "W0SU2C9X14"

Isn't a Machine ID 32 digit code or at least in a longer format than this?

@orange The systemID is based on the getLocalMachineIDs function from Juce.
But the Hise API only takes the 1st element from the returned array which corresponds to a short representation of the machine. the other elements in the array are the individual components or MAC addresses.

Here's an explanation for the getLocalMachineIDs :

So it should be possible to concatenate all strings into a longer one, but if this is a good thing to do I don't know...

Hise api says it's unique, but I'm curious if it's unique enough or not.

By the way, in Windows > Command Prompt > ipconfig /all is the way to learn MAC address. But this ID is not matching with any of these.

@orange I don't know if two exactly identical computers returns the same hash…

It is normal it doesn't matches any ID, even more the Hise api since the hash it returns is a combination of everything, and is encoded... even if from the juce function you take another element in the array that corresponds to a specific component, I'm not sure you can find similarities with a real MAC address number because it is hashed.

So absolutely unique? Not sure…
Unique enough? Certainly...

I think it also takes the modification date of the Windows folder and / or certain system files into account so it‘s not just the hardware.

Can anyone explain exactly what machine id returns please? I can't match the result Hise gives me with anything on my mac.

@DanH Machine ID is a device specific code. So you can't replicate it on the different computers or Operating systems. W........ format is for Windows. M........ format is for macOS.

@orange Thanks. But where does it take the info from? Can I locate the machine id outside of Hise?

[orange]

@DanH Like previously mentioned on this thread above, it is an hashed & modified code (combination of hardware, OS, system files...etc.) and its algorithm comes from JUCE.

I don't think it can be located on anywhere outside Hise.

@orange ok thanks
