getHardwareID question

[jlorinser]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a function that uses the unique hardware ID of a PocketPC device to be able to unlock a game.
I have tested the getHardwareID() function on my Pocket PC (HP 2490) and it returns 16 chars/digits, but the question is: do all the Pocket PCs have the same number of chars/digits or does it vary according to model/manufacturer? Would 6 be a safe number of chars/digits to take (and discard the rest)?

Thanks in advance!

The getHardwareID() function will aways returns a 16 digit string.

Thanks Makslane!

So it's safe to use the 16 char string for all models/devices?

Thanks again!
