Java - Motherboard Serial Number
Code to get the motherboard serial number of a pc/laptop
As you might know, I am new to the forum.
My issue is that I want to get the motherboard serial number from my laptop by calling a Java class.
I found this code on the net:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class MiscUtils {
private MiscUtils() { }
public static String getMotherboardSN() {
String result = "";
try {
File file = File.createTempFile("realhowto",".vbs");
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
String vbs =
"Set objWMIService = GetObject(\"winmgmts:\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\")\n"
+ "Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ \n"
+ " (\"Select * from Win32_BaseBoard\") \n"
+ "For Each objItem in colItems \n"
+ " Wscript.Echo objItem.SerialNumber \n"
+ " exit for ' do the first cpu only! \n"
+ "Next \n";
fw.write(vbs);
fw.close();
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cscript //NoLogo " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input =
new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
result += line;
}
input.close();
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result.trim();
}
public static void main(String[] args){
String cpuId = MiscUtils.getMotherboardSN();
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog((java.awt.Component)
null, cpuId, "Motherboard serial number",
javax.swing.JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION);
}
}
However, when I run it on Eclipse, I get a notification "Not Applicable". Does anyone know why this notification appears and maybe give me a hint of how to fix it?
I also found this answer for this problem in another forum, but I am not sure if this is true: "If you're not getting a motherboard ID then most likely, the BIOS isn't set up to provide that information for that model of motherboard. It's not available."
Any help would be really appreciated guys.
Thanx!
