Reliable way of generating unique hardware ID

by

It seems to me that you should construct the unique ID corresponding to your requirements. This ID can be constructed as a hash (like MD5, SHA1 or SHA512) from the information which is important for you (some information about software and hardware component).

You can make your solution more secure if you sign such hash with your private key and your software verify during the starting, that the key (signed hash value) is signed (only public key must be installed together with your software). One can expand such kind of solution with different online services, but corporate clients could find online services not so nice.
