You must use Win32 api (kl, adv, reg, ..)
You can see on Win32 group (http://tinyurl.com/cmhb5g) for C or C++ code

I suppose that you are referring to the Windows Product ID? My Windows Vista PC shows 20 digits excluding the dashes.

If so, that value seems to be in the Windows registry. In Vista:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
->Value Name: ProductID, of type REG_SZ (string).

For XP or 7 could be located elsewhere, or could be the same.

If someone understand me please write .......

No that still doesn't make sense.

What are you trying to do? You want to make a registration code for a program, like proprietary software that you pay for has? Where you have to enter a number, and the software verifies if it's a valid key?

I think you'd need to connect to a webserver to verify the key. Otherwise you'd have to store the key in the program, where it would be easy to get the real key when the program loaded it into memory to compare the two.

PROTIP: key verification is just a checksum on the input, hence why there are keygens.
