public static void main(String[] args)

main.

Parameters:

getComputerIdentifier

public static String getComputerIdentifier()

Generates a Computer Identifier, which may be part of a strategy to construct a licence key. (The identifier may not be unique as in one case hashcode could be same for multiple values, and the result may differ based on whether the program is running with sudo/root permission.) The identifier string is based upon the processor serial number, vendor, system UUID, processor identifier, and total processor count.

Returns:

A string containing four hyphen-delimited fields representing the processor; the first 3 are 32-bit hexadecimal values and the last one is an integer value.
