Hi Hikermann,

Device ID -> Hardware ID?

Thank you for the response.



I'm trying to clarify what is the correct terminology being required by the program to be activated: it asks for "Computer ID" -- it refuses "Computer Name"; as best I can determine "Computer ID" is supposedly located by START, "cmd", "ipconfig" . . . but that results in "Windows IP Configuration" followed by "Ethernet Adapter etc., etc.". I would think that Computer ID is specifically identifying the PC (hardware), not merely MS Windows (?).



Some online supposed-help sites say the information I'm looking for (ComputerID) is actually listed under "Physical Address" or "IPv4" . . . none of which ## are accepted for activation.
​

Your sample (above) does not correspond with my system; my DEVICE MANAGER has no OTHER, NETWORK CONTROLLER PROPERTIES, HARDWARE IDs listing(s), so don't know what to do with your offering.


So, no further along here presently, though thanks.

What "program" are you trying to activate?

I'm perusing Technical support - MAGIX
In order to activate your software, you will need the serial number and a valid email address.
