How to get/generate unique Hardware ID for MAC OS
-
Hello Experts,
I need to get/generate a unique hardware ID for MAC OS.
For windows OS I am using below function for unique ID, but it is not working for MAC OS.@
//generate Mac address
QString Registration::generateMac()
{
foreach(QNetworkInterface interface, QNetworkInterface::allInterfaces())
{
// Return only the first non-loopback MAC Address
if (!(interface.flags() & QNetworkInterface::IsLoopBack))
return interface.hardwareAddress();
}
return QString();
}
@Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

What version of Qt and Mac OS are you using?

When I was searching for a solution to this problem, I came across this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/933460/unique-hardware-id-in-mac-os-x
The persons says he ended up using this:
@
QProcess proc;QStringList args;
args << "-c" << "ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | awk '/IOPlatformUUID/ { print $3; }'";
proc.start( "/bin/bash", args );
proc.waitForFinished();QString uID = proc.readAll();
