DWORD confusion
Hello,
I'm trying to protect my app with a hardware dongle. These dongles have a unique ID like f.e. C8F25797, however in the software examples this HID is defined as a DWORD. But a DWORD is a 32 bit unsigned integer apparently. So i'm a bit confused...
The result i get when i try to read is "76936624"... for the HID "C8F25797"...
what am i'm missing here ?

C8F25797 is in hexadecimal. If you are reading or printing the number as if it were stored in decimal it won't match.
0xC8F25797 == 3371325335
Apart from that I'm not sure what could be going wrong. Can you explain what you're doing a bit more and/or show code?
