How do I get the motherboard ID or serial number from Delphi code?
Is there any example code or articles that I can look at?

try using the WMI Win32_BaseBoard Class .
see theses samples:
Option 1) before execute you need import the Microsoft WMIScripting Library
from Component
->Import Component
and then select Import type library
program GetWMI_MotherBoardInfo;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
ActiveX,
Variants,
SysUtils,
WbemScripting_TLB in '..\..\..\Documents\RAD Studio\5.0\Imports\WbemScripting_TLB.pas';//
Function GetMotherBoardSerial:string;
var
WMIServices : ISWbemServices;
Root : ISWbemObjectSet;
Item : Variant;
begin
WMIServices := CoSWbemLocator.Create.ConnectServer('.', 'root\cimv2','', '', '', '', 0, nil);
Root := WMIServices.ExecQuery('Select SerialNumber From Win32_BaseBoard','WQL', 0, nil);
Item := Root.ItemIndex(0);
Result:=VarToStr(Item.SerialNumber);
end;
begin
try
CoInitialize(nil);
Writeln('Serial MotherBoard '+GetMotherBoardSerial);
Readln;
CoUninitialize;
except
on E:Exception do
Begin
CoUninitialize;
Writeln(E.Classname, ': ', E.Message);
Readln;
End;
end;
end.
Option 2) using OLEVariant
, IBindCtx Interface and IMoniker Interface
program GetWMI_MotherBoardSerial;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
SysUtils
,ActiveX
,ComObj
,Variants;
function GetMotherBoardSerial:String;
var
objWMIService : OLEVariant;
colItems : OLEVariant;
colItem : OLEVariant;
oEnum : IEnumvariant;
iValue : LongWord;
function GetWMIObject(const objectName: String): IDispatch;
var
chEaten: Integer;
BindCtx: IBindCtx;
Moniker: IMoniker;
begin
OleCheck(CreateBindCtx(0, bindCtx));
OleCheck(MkParseDisplayName(BindCtx, StringToOleStr(objectName), chEaten, Moniker));
OleCheck(Moniker.BindToObject(BindCtx, nil, IDispatch, Result));
end;
begin
Result:='';
objWMIService := GetWMIObject('winmgmts:\\localhost\root\cimv2');
colItems := objWMIService.ExecQuery('SELECT SerialNumber FROM Win32_BaseBoard','WQL',0);
oEnum := IUnknown(colItems._NewEnum) as IEnumVariant;
if oEnum.Next(1, colItem, iValue) = 0 then
Result:=VarToStr(colItem.SerialNumber);
end;
begin
try
CoInitialize(nil);
try
Writeln('Serial MotherBoard '+GetMotherBoardSerial);
Readln;
finally
CoUninitialize;
end;
except
on E:Exception do
Begin
Writeln(E.Classname, ': ', E.Message);
Readln;
End;
end;
end.
I got another solution:
function TForm1.GetSerialMotherBoard: String;
var
a, b, c, d: LongWord;
begin
asm
push EAX
push EBX
push ECX
push EDX
mov eax, 1
db $0F, $A2
mov a, EAX
mov b, EBX
mov c, ECX
mov d, EDX
pop EDX
pop ECX
pop EBX
pop EAX
end;
result := inttohex(a, 8) + '-' +
inttohex(b, 8) + '-' +
inttohex(c, 8) + '-' +
inttohex(d, 8);
end;
