Knowledgebase Tips and How-to Articles for ApexSQL Tools How do I get my hardware ID? Description This article describes the different ways you can get your hardware ID Obtaining hardware ID for an ApexSQL client tool ApexSQL Developer tools (i.e. ApexSQL Diff) are installed and activated per client. The relevant hardware ID is for the client computer the software is installed on 1) You can get your hardware ID from the Activation Form that pops up opens when you start your ApexSQL software if you're using the trial version:  2) If the trial period of your software has not yet expired or if you're using an already activated software, you can start the application and go to Help | About to get the hardware ID:  3) If for any reason you can't access any of the above forms because you can't start your ApexSQL product, install another ApexSQL product using the ApexSQL installer. Next, use #1 or #2 to get the hardware ID Obtaining hardware ID for an ApexSQL server tool ApexSQL enterprise tools (i.e. ApexSQL Log) are installed and activated per server.
