That is indeed the right function to find the serial number of a DAQ device. Did you feed the program the right parameters? It might be helpful for you to post your code here for us to be able to better assist you.

Hello
I think I solve this problem

char text[]=_T("Dev1");
uInt32 data;
DAQmxGetDevSerialNum(text,&data);

Is There any possibility that 2 cards have the same serial number?

Are both the boards the same? If they have the same product number (i.e if they are the same board) then they would not have the same serial number. Else, it is possible.

Hello
Besides serial number are there any numbers specific only for one card?
If they are how to get the information about it?
Best Regards

Hello,
I don't think it is possible for two devices (same product number or not) to have the same serial number. I would suggest using the DAQmxGetDevSerialNum function you mentioned previously.
