HOW TO get Hareware ID by using API
By calling a function.
"Which function?"
Which API/Hardware ID?
"API X, Hardware ID Y"
Likely answers:
Google Search: C++ X Y ID
MSDN Search: C++ X Y ID
Note: Substitute C++ for language of your choice.
For guessing two steps ahead, I win!
As a prize... I recieve... a door!!!
I'm going to go install that door now. Finally get some privacy to change/blare loud music.

API = WINDOWS API,
HARDWARE = Network Adapter or Disk
I hope you can understand what I mean.

If I read you correctly, you want some form of unique identifier for the computer, generated by hashing the disk ID / NIC ID, maybe a couple of other values.
Correct?
The following source shows how to extract eh NIC information.. maybe someone else has DiskID info?
I'd be carefull about trusting it too far though; the user will hate you if installing a new network card disables his game. NICs can also be faked using programs that overwrite the NIC ID.

Then how can I get harddisk ID?
If you know Pascal, here's a page on it. Perhaps you can try and use assembly to emulate the same in C++.
