Use the TASCpuInfo component which retrieves the motherboard serial as one part of the information that it retrieves from a computer.
http://www.delphi32.com/vcl/2460/

This component takes care of all the hard work and best of all, it is free.

sorry for the bump, but whenever I try to install (using Delphi 7) I get the message "[Fatal Error] File not found: 'c:\Program Files\delphi7\Rave5\Lib\ASCpuinfo.pas". I installed to folder "C:\Program Files\Delphi7\Lib". So I made it its own folder in the delphi folder, but I get a missing ASCpuinfo.pas in that folder. Any ideas?

Have a look at their System Information Component.
It is free, unless you want source.
It allows you to get BIOS date of manufacture - this is a good valut to used for motherboard serial number.

Ok, I'd assume the BIOS date would be almost always different? I'll use that then.

We have been using the BIOS date for over 15years in one of our applications (unix+DOS+Win) and only once in that time found two computers with the same BIOS date.
It allows the customer to recover from a hard disk crash without having to regegister the software - which just adds to the customers stress.

This component also returns many other things that could be used to id the system. Have a look through them all and you may find something else you would rather use

Pleased to help
