Readout serialnumber etc. of an USB-stick

[_EMG_]

Hi there,

how is it possible to readout the serialnumer and other information of an USB stick?

It would be used to "dongle" a LabVIEW application..!

Thanks for answers!

You can use system exec to execute a dir command. And then parse the result for serial number.

This link provides two methods.

Got it in first step, thank's for help.

I spent a little more time looking at this, and I would advise strongly against using the volume ID that can be found in the directory listing.  If the method of checking is known, this utility from Microsoft will allow them to easily circumvent your check.

The USB device serial number, to my knowledge, is burned into the chip and is most likely impossible or extremely difficult to change.  My first post references a method to get that serial number.

You need to remove the &0 at the end, as it is not technically part of the serial number.
