I have question how to generate unique serial number of machine in Delphi? I tried to do this using the ID the motherboard or processor, but unfortunately it's unfortunately supported. Partition serial numbers, etc. fall off, because it is changing after the formatted. I'm looking for something that doesn't change after the formatted. Has anyone any idea?

function CPUID: TCpuInfo;
function GetMacAddresses(const Machine: string; const Addresses: TStrings): Integer;
function GetVolumeSerialNumber(const Drive: string): string;
function GetBIOSName: string;
