How to get hard disk serial number for NT
For windows 95 and 98, I can use an API call 'GetVolumeInformationA' to get the hard disk number of a local hard-disk. However it does not work for NT 4.0 workstation and servers. The serial number returned is '0000-0000' which is incorrect. Please advice if there is another specific API call for getting serial number from a NT 4.0 workstation.

The volume serial no. is assigned and changed during the formatting of the partition. A proper/working code...

How do I get a vaild serial number?
I took advantage of the RAD Studio 2009 deal for those that had just bought D2009. Has anyone else done this and managed to register the upgrade? The supplied serial number (from a CG online purchase) returns a message that it has expired when I try to register it. I've logged the problem with CG Support (ref 00D57Mdw.50055bNLL), but they don't seem to have read the original message. They just explain how to run the license manager to generate the error message I had already sent them. I've tried the web method as well - and I get a similar expired message for my new ser...
